/me has a local Server mirror for VM installs. Mirroring the Everything and updates repos is too much data. Mirroring a subset of the RPMs is too much work (maintaining the subset you need is a PITA because it constantly changes). What works best is downloading though a caching proxy. Needs tweaking the repofiles though: Comment out metalink, add baseurl with a fixed mirror instead, otherwise you'll end up re-downloading unmodified repodata and packages just because yum/dnf picked another mirror this time. Wishlist item: Can we just have cdn.fedoraproject.org download urls please? cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
