You can search for the thread, I don't know the Subject:, or email direct:
"David C. Rankin" <drankinatty<at>suddenlinkmail.com>   (replace <at>/@)

David composed a scheme to download patches/updates to one machine and
make them, composit, available to other local machines.  I don't recall
the particulars but I am sure that he will and will be helpful.

Otherwise, retain or download-only the updates/patches and make your own
repo available locally via ??_nfs or some other manner and use the local
repo.  I maintain a small repo locally (nfs) which I use for packages not
available on the *regular* repos from repos that contain unwanted packages
or packages not suited for my install.  I believe that in essance this is
what David is doing.
