Yeah that is what I can do - should work
Though I'm thinking at this point my easiest solution will be to take my
laptop home and rsync an entire repo to it, then take it back and rsync it
to my server. U

Thanks but I've already been chatting with the author who is stumped at
this point - so I'm just going to give up.

The default config won't cache large files. And yum will try to use
different mirrors every time.

I would highly advise against trying to time a CTRL-C in a specific amount
of time. Not sure why you would even try and do that when, that's the exact
purpose of the yum-download only which is easier to install and run then
wait for a whole update to complete and try and manually kill the job.

Alan, if your worried about keeping an up to date repository locally and
consistently, then yes cobbler is the way to go. If all you want to do is
an update and save off the RPMS once.. then use the yum download only
plugin.

I actually just installed cobbler a few weeks ago and will look into it for
this to see if it has a way to grab a repository without rsync

I'll second the download-only plugin. It is also useful when
upgrading point releases because you can download all the packages
locally to stage the install, then perform the actual install in

Do a 'yum install yum-downloadonly', and then you can 'yum -y
--downloadonly update'. Th
Which is why you should use cobbler because it does all that for you.

You can use the yum download-only plugin, or you can enable a keep cache
variable in your /etc/yum.repos.d/yourfile.repo. Don't remember the syntax
off the top of my head. However a quick google search should turn them both
up.
