The solution to people picking the wrong choice for their purpose is

objection I heard to putting up a DVD is mirror space but we can avoid
that problem by using a different name space so mirrors would have to
pull it explicitly and in bittorrent. Considering that several
distributions like Debian with large ISO sets has managed to get lots of
mirrors, I dont think the problem of mirror space would affect us much.
We should discuss this with mirror administrators rather than assuming
its a problem.
What I'd like to see is some sort of yum-proxy to save bandwidth for
users. E.g. let some sort of yum-procy run on a local network server;
fill it's cache with what you have already from the distribution cd;
clients connect to the proxy; if the package is in the cache send it
back; otherwise download it from the web, send it over, and put it in
the cache; now and then check if a package is still in the upstream
repos; if not, drop it from the cache.
I don't think something like that exists for yum. Or did I miss that?
Debian has something similar iirc -- ohh boy, I should learn python
properly and implement above proxy myself...
Have you looked at mrepo? http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/mrepo/
