I'm about to create a new CentOS 3 VM for testing, since we still have a
bunch of deployed machines running that OS.
(Don't yell at me about using old OSes. These machines won't get
"un-deployed" until they fall over dead of natural causes. Until the
last one dies, we need test and build VMs around to service them.)
I have the CentOS 3.9 *.iso files plus a local cache of RPMs against 3.9
that is probably incomplete relative to the vault[*].
It seems wasteful to install the last published version of the OS, then
scp over my local update RPMs, freshen from those, *then* check with the
vault for yet more updates.
What I'm hoping for is some way to get a "CentOS 3.10", being 3.9 with
the vault updates directory contents merged in.
Is there a straightforward way to do that, or is schlepping around
folders full of RPMs actually the best way to go?
