Mirroring Linux Repo - How to do it?

[noy.juan]

---

I have tried doing this on OSX before set on our xserver, but i havent tried any RHEL/Debian version....

most of them suggested to use rsync... but i cant mirror all the packages... just the essentials or an option to toggle update on the repo... and it should be automated... any suggestions? is it possible to set rsync to watch a specific package and download once update is detected?

Btw, heres the spec of the planned repo server....

Mac Mini
OSX 10.4
aRsync
Apache 2 (via macports)

note: that i also included RHEL based distro since this will be similar to any linux distro... Ubuntu is based in unstable debian...

Butangi lang boss og --exlude sa folder Pareha ani

#!/bin/bash
if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/rsync_updates ]; then
echo "Updates via rsync already running."
exit 0
fi
if [ -d /repo/html/centos/ ] ; then
touch /var/lock/subsys/rsync_updates
rsync -auv --exclude "isos" rsync://ftp.muug.mb.ca/pub/centos/5.5/ --exclude=debug/ /repo/html/centos/5/
/bin/rm -f /var/lock/subsys/rsync_updates
else
echo "Target directory /var/www/html/centos/ not present."
fi
