I figured this would be a nice thread to add my question to.
Mrepo is installed, and functioning... somewhat. The problem is that repodata/ directories are not being pulled from the mirrors. Here is my mrepo configuration.
[main]
hardlink = yes
srcdir = /mnt/kickstart
wwwdir = /mnt/kickstart
confdir = /etc/mrepo.conf.d
arch = x86_64
mailto = root@localhost
smtp-server = localhost
[centos5]
name = CentOS $release ($arch)
release = 5.1
arch = x86_64
metadata = repomd yum repoview
### Additional repositories
updates = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/updates/$arch/
fasttrack = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/fasttrack/$arch/
centosplus = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/centosplus/$arch/
extras = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/extras/$arch/
addons = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/addons/$arch/
### RPMforge repository
rpmforge = http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/pub/dag/redhat/el5/en/$arch/dag/
Thanks,
Vasiliy

downloading the scripts now. Am I on the right track if I copy files
from existing servers / machines' /var/cache/yum/*/packages to the
corresponding folders on in the mrepo source folders?
