Announcement:
The older no_rsync.pl Perl script on my web site, which downloaded
the 7.2beta tree (which no longer exists), and which was extremely
popular, was replaced on November 8 by Version 1.0 of all_rsync.pl.
November 25: New! Version 1.1 of all_rsync.pl has now been
released.
This corrects the skipping of file upnaming for rsync of mirror paths
not
ending in 'RPMS/' or 'SRPMS/'.
As supplied, the all_rsync.pl Perl script rsync-downloads binary
contrib,
cooker, 7.2 and the 7.2 CD iso images to a place which you must edit
into all_rsync.pl before running it. It can also rsync-download the
corresponding SRPMS, but this is commented out.
All these downloads are English-GB-only, and change the name of any
local
RPM of the same name to match the server's version and mdk patch
level so
that the rsync run becomes an update by patching rather than a
complete
new download. These features considerably reduce the download time
and
storage space required.
A different server may also be specified for each of the above items.
The two files required (all_rsync.pl and rsync_exclude) may be
downloaded from
http://members.optushome.com.au/ronst/
and may be freely redistributed (GPL licence).
