The main problem is not on urpmi side. How me (mirror admin) will exclude such things in practice ? Maybe a more direct approach is need: Can you write the rsync command line I have to run on the mirror ? What will happend is one day Mageia team to change the structure ? It's true this can be done on server side, but no mirror will sync from rsync.mageia.org. So this have to be done on Tiers1 on which we have no control (except distrib-coffee, a special case), and ibiblio sys admin seem's to be very busy. -- Olivier Thauvin CNRS - LATMOS ♖ ♘ ♗ ♕ ♔ ♗ ♘ ♖
