Hello,
I'm trying to setup a mirror for Scientific Linux 6 and newer (ie 6.0 and
all updates). I'm going off of
https://www.scientificlinux.org/download/mirroring/mirror.rsync but it
appears to be outdated and invalid for SL6. There is no "60" directory.
Which directories should be mirrored for the major 6.x releases? I'm
assuming "6.0/" and "6x/" is this correct? Did SL move away from the "60"
"61" style convention to "6.0" "6.1" convention @
Mirroring 6.0 and 6x seems to work for me.
IMHO 6.0 (etc) makes it easier for those of us with local mirrors since we
can have a locally modified yum.repos.d/ file which points at the right
place using $releasever in the baseurl rather than needing to modify it at
each release.
For sl5 (and earlier I assume) we did this but needed to add symlinks by
hand for each release.
