server connect to the mirrors, have it save all the rpms into a
directory, run createrepo every so often to update the directory, and
share out that directory with ftp or http so that your other servers
can download the packages.
Or do like I do, have 1 server that you use for imaging all my servers
and mirror the CentOS repos, then I run Apache and have my local
servers connect to that local repo. You don't even have to mirror the
entire repo if you don't want.
Since I'm on a testing stage, installing, upgrading, and re-installing
several times with slightly different setups and so on, I think the
easiest way would be to only configure one proxy line on yum.conf on
each new installation than playing each time with the .repo files on
/etc/yum.repos.d or moving around RPMs between systems... after all what
I need is a proxy-cache which knows how to handle RPMs: am I wrong?
A proxy doesn't need to know anything about RPM's - it's like any other
httpd request through a proxy. It just needs to be configured to cache
large files. And you don't even need to configure anything - you can
pass the proxy in the environment, even on the command line like:
http_proxy=http://my_proxy.domain.com:port yum update
What you need is a yum that always uses the same URL to request the same
file. The default is to pick something randomly from a list of mirrors.
