That would be truly awesome.
I have such a define in my module "nsc-puppet-utils" (available at
http://www.nsc.liu.se/~bellman/nsc-puppet-utils.git). You use it
like this:
rsync_mirror {
epel-5-x86_64:
source => "rsync://mirrorhost/fedora-epel/5/x86_64/./",
target => "/pkg/epel-5.x86_64",
rsyncflags => ['--exclude', 'repoview', '--exclude', 'debug'],
creates => "/pkg/epel-5.x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml",
hour => 3, minute => 25;
}
This does two things: when run the first time, it actually does
an rsync of a directory tree. And then it creates a cron job
for keeping the tree synchronized with the source. You use the
'creates' parameter to indicate a file that you expect to exist
in the tree, so Puppet itself doesn't have to run rsync every
time. If you mirror a large tree that could take a long time,
even if no files actually need to be transferred (I use it to
keep a mirror of CentOS and EPEL on a cluster, so we can re-install
our nodes anytime without being dependant on external servers).
Is this what you want? Any suggestions for improvements?
