Hi Kilian, reposync is great, mainly with Red Hat, since it’s the only way to mirror Red Hat distributions due to it’s “subscription manager” nature. I already use it for RHEL, but it’s not that great when you want to mirror multiple repositories and multiple versions. Also with EL8 there’s the would —download-metadata issue.
We do use it when it’s a stateful cluster with a single arch and single distribution, but my objetive here is to have a mirror, not a reposync one. Also as I said on the last message, the storage system has standard storage tools, like rsync. Reposync is not available.
