Yup, that is basically what I am doing now except that I usually just
freshen (rpm -Fvh *.rpm) instead of URPMI Auto Select. I will try your
method and see how it works. I wish I could figure out how to use
rsync via an ftp client, then I wouldn't be downloading all the
packages, just the changes.
Ron Stodden makes a package that does just that. I can't recall the name right off the top of my head, but it's an Aussie website address.
As do I, and I wrote mine because I thought Ron's (troels) was too inflexible/hard to use.
I understand URPMI works with rsync mirrors as well but it doesn't seem to be working properly on my work box but I need to investigate further.
If you're investigating rsync, just use rsync manually. However, your
My script basically equates to running rsync, but it has the additional (troels-like) feature of renaming RPMs before the rsync so you can just DL the changes between package versions.

It's configured through variables at the top of the script.
