In a former life, with RHEL versions 4--6, I used a local mirror for the packages needed to support our use cases. When there were updates, they appeared in the mirror and systems updated from there. I don't recall there being a lot of guidance for creating a local mirror, more a matter of trial and error to get a local mirror working with a small get of packages. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/MockSetupUsingLocalMirror seems to be roughly the same vintage. The example uses a .xml list of packages which you could adjust to what is needed at your site. I also had a mirror for Ubuntu. I recall using rsync excludes in a mirror script, but that may have been used for Ubuntu. > > -- George N. White III
