You could create your own script with rsync and create include/exclude files and use rsync friendly sites. I have done this in suse 9.0. It is not that complicated once you got the hang of it. here is a example of the rsync command I used in suse.. rsync -auvv --stats --delete --exclude-from=/home/internet/test-ftp/0000-gwdg-exclude ftp.gwdg.de::pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/9.0/. /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.0/. Here is one I use to list kernels..in mdk10.. rsync -auvv --stats --exclude-from=/home/internet/Test-kernels/files-exclude \ ftp.sunet.se::pub/Linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/updates/10.0/RPMS/. The ..files-exclude.. look like this.. + kernel-2.6.3*.rpm + kernel-source-2.6.3*.rpm - *.* This may give you some idea what could be done by yourself..but look into dalziel.
