I have done so with CentOS in the past. The main issue is that Cobbler
works best when you mirror a version-architecture tree (as in 5.2/i386
5.2/x86_64 4.7/etc.) Trying to mirror ALL of XYZ Linux in one set does
not work well. I found that out the hard way.. Personally I just set
it up to mirror a tree for CentOS and had a cron job that updated the
updates.
I have been investigating this most of the morning and I am now leaning
toward mirroring the distribution externally.
A few more questions:
Do I need to recreate the "repodata" directories?
Are the packages in the "contrib" directory ever updated? Or more to the
point, is there any content other than the "updates" directory that
isn't static from one release to the next?
Do you mirror the "5x" tree or a specific version?
Thanks,
Chris
