Should InstantMirror be for more than home and small office mirrors? I've been using InstantMirror at home for several machines and even more test instances here and there and it has performed a valuable function for me without the need to mirror Fedora repos. I would be comfortable using InstantMirror in a small office setting as well. InstantMirror offered a quick way to cache updates used by the majority of my machines locally with only a few minutes of setup time. For home users or small office users this is a quick way to provide the benefit of locally cached updates without needing to consume large amount of bandwidth or time to setup a local mirror via rsync. At some point, a place that runs into some of the issues you outlined will have outgrown InstantMirror and want to move to a more traditional rsync'ed local mirror. Both to avoid issues with InstantMirror as they outgrow it and to make it easier to deal with the larger variation in packages needed by various local machines. --Jeffrey -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
