Debug packages are actually supposed to appear in repo/debug repository.
"supposed to", maybe.
Rsync gives a total of 10 838 110 640 bytes with these excludes:
--exclude /iso/ --exclude /repo/src/ --exclude /repo/oss/suse/x86_64/ --exclude *-debuginfo-* --exclude *-debugsource-*
Without these two debug excludes it is 16 806 025 115 bytes.
It is still too much for me. I can't donwload that much before it changes.
Give it a try. rsync creates the remote file list at the beginning, and if you run into a big factory change, lots of old files will not get transferred (because they are gone meanwhile). So your run will end earlier, and you can restart earlier to fetch the new files. And you can create a "durable" list of exclude patterns for unwanted big files like kernel-debug-* or similar. Using *, you need to obey that the shell can not resolve the pattern (because it matches some file in .).
