Re: [Cooker] Keeping up with the cooker

[Stefan van der Eijk]

I use fmirror to mirror the distro to my harddisk (and update it regularly
with fmirror) and use autorpm to update it. autorpm will update one package at
a time, so when multiple packages need to be updated you'll need to go in and
do it yourself.

The nice thing about autorpm is that it runs every night (cron job?) and sends
a mail to tell you how things went...

 autorpm + local ftp

If you maintain a copy of the tree to install from using the hd.img
floppy, use rsync (man rsync).

My rsync script for hydrogen is:

#!/bin/bash
echo
echo hdc11 must be mounted to /mnt/local/cdrimage  !!
echo for do-nothing test run, call with n parameter
echo

rsync -av$1 --delete --progress --partial \
mirror.aarnet.edu.au::mandrake-devel/cooker/ \
/mnt/local/cdrimage/hydrogen/
