Re: Another DNF quesiton?
There is an official set of instructions for setting up a local repo.
It is somewhere on the fedoraproject wiki.
I am lazy, though. I have a simple cron job that does an rsync every
night of the updates to my web server. I then add a baseurl= line to
the fedora-updates.repo pointing to the update repo url. And it just
works. My cronjob entry is:
30 5 * * * root /usr/bin/rsync -auv --delete --exclude=debug/
--exclude=drpms/ rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/21/x86_64/
/media/HD103SI/repos/fedora/21/updates/x86_64
I do a symlink of where I put the repo to where apache looks for files
and I am done. Simple enough for my needs.
I can send you a cronjob email to see what it looks like, but last
night's ended with:
sent 20501 bytes received 481557037 bytes 2193975.12 bytes/sec
total size is 21332423081 speedup is 44.30
Someone better than me would write a script that runs all of the rsyncs
instead of a separate cronjob each and working out when to schedule each
one...

Do you have a link to the setup and use of local repo. Have a squid

server that systems are set to use, but if they are using different repos they
seem to download multiple copies. Local network classroom is 1G network,
but campus connection is only 100M, and college has 110M connection via 2
isps with 60M, 30M, and 20M links. Usually, can not get more the 10M of
bandwidth because MIS allocates bandwidth to building.
The squid server has a 1.5T disk, so would have room to have both the 64
and 32 repos.
Thanks.
