Hello. Let's suppose I want to have a mirror of *all* 6.4 suse updates. I have several SuSE machines and I'm going to set up on each machine an auto-update script which checks for newer packets by ftp'ing to my local mirror. I've created this script: LOCAL=/usr/local/ftp/pub/suse/update wget -m -nH --cut-dirs=4 -P ${LOCAL} ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4 wget -m -nH --cut-dirs=4 -P ${LOCAL} ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4 First I download packets from the German site which if I'm not wrong they are the ones with license/exports problem. Second, I download the rest of the packets from "official" site. Can I trust rpm's not being duplicated on both sites? What's the SuSE's policy about this? I think I'm right but.. Am I missing some important update packets on another directory? I need to be sure I'm not missing rpm's. The script is executed regularly by cron (one time per week is sufficient?). Is there any way of removing old packets from my mirror? This would be avoid a situation like this: -r--r--r-- 1 root root 453985 Aug 29 2000 timezone-2.1.3-150.i386.rpm -r--rw-r-- 1 root root 452109 Jan 25 17:07 timezone-2.1.3-155.i386.rpm Both files are kept in my local mirror. This is unnecessary. Is it safe to delete automatically (I'll write some script lines) the old files? (eg: compare xxx-2.1.3-150.yyy < xxx-2.1.3-155.yyy and remove the first one). Would I break something? TIA =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** RoMaN SoFt / LLFB ** roman@madrid.com http://pagina.de/romansoft ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
