SuSE 9.2 Online Updates Mirror
Hi, I am woundering is there anyway to rsync the SuSE 9.2 Online updates mirror. We run a shop of more then 50 Suse workstations and would like to have a local mirror of the SuSE patches. Is there a rsync mirror we can latch onto, from where we can download to our local patch server? Also we would like to have it setup in the autoinstall (autoyast) portion. We can install all workstations just fine, via PXE, but would like that it would also setup the online updates link to our server and update from there nightly (at like 2am). What do i need to put into the XML file for the online updates, that it does it automatically. Thanks for any advice S.
Hi, i am mirroring the SuSE-Updates weekly with rsync from leo.org with this commandline: rsync -r -l -H -t -S -v --delete ftp.leo.org::suse/i386/update/9.2/ /srv/ftp/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2 >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 and then using my own ftp-mirror for the local updates. This is the only rsync mirror that i know of. regards Ing. Wolfgang Skabrond -- TWS Datensysteme Ges.m.b.H.

We do that, ftp.gwdg.de has also rsync service for its SuSE mirror. I used: rsync -n ftp.gwdg.de::SuSE/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/ to list the directories. For the 9.1 I use the following: The following is pasted from a small script $BACKUPDIR is some directory, we use to save old files. rsync -av --delete --backup --backup-dir=$BACKUPDIR --exclude='patches.obsolete/' --exclude='rpm/src/' ftp.gwdg.de::SuSE/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/9.1/ . I think for 9.2 we could exclude the rpm/x86_64 too, as we dont have such machines. There is still some optimzation potential, we use by far not all packages, for example we use not all kernels (only the non smp) and we should exclude them too, as they get frequently updated and are rather large.
