Topic: Making my SME a local Mirror for SME updates..?

[pauljclarke]

Hi,

Since before Chrismass I had a problem with a SME box that fails when running yum updates because of headers not being complete.

BTW-! This is entered as a bug and from its comments is being looked at...

However I can only run updates by coping them to the machine and then yum localupdate. This however this takes ages to do by hand.

I'd like (while that Bug if found / fixed / whatever) to use rsync to copy a mirror to my server and then setup yum to point to 'localhost' for updates.

can anyone suggest a method for doing this or some pointers.

Thanks

You should be able to use the 'rsync' command from the "Mirrors" link, then figure out from the "Yum_offline_updating" link what to do next.

this would copy all old and new releases as well a contribs to my local machine - any idea how many Gb this is? or can you suggest just the right areas to rsync that yum will need to know about.
