i've maintained a local centos repository at work using rsync, but it
seems the corp honchos have decided to block rsync at our firewall, plus
its never been 100% reliable, I'd get aborts on protocol errors
sometimes several times before pulling down a complete new distro update.
i'm trying to figure out how to do this with lftp, and its got me
somewhat stymied.
I'm testing with --dry-run like...
lftp -c 'open http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/ && mirror -c -X
\*/ia64 -X \*/s390 -X \*/alpha -X \*/SRPMS --dry-run'
but my -X excludes don't seem to work (I don't want/need itanium, s390,
alpha, or SRPMs in my repo).
and, it doesn't seem to be aware of the symlinks from, for example, /5/
to /5.6/ and seems to want to pull down two copies instead (I
understand that http doesn't make symlinks obvious). Should I use
ftp:// instead of http:// or something?
does someone have a script for maintaining a repo with lftp they'd like
to share? what I saw on the wiki wasn't very helpful.
