I will loose my time by using rpmsync, I need to mirror ppc/sparc/i586. I 
never seen a script on this list which take care of hard link, and mirror all 
archs.

rsync is not hard to use:

-a make a full mirror
-q quiet
-H preserve hard link
--no-whole-file take identical part of file from local disk.

What is hard in those options ?
