=== Fedora Updates Repo Configuration ===

For this example, we will be doing Fedora Updates for 32-bit. It can be adapted for 64-bit by changing all occurrences of <strong><em>i386</em></strong> to <strong><em>x86_64</em></strong>. You may want to use one of the rsync mirrors listed [[http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org here]]. If so, replace all occurrences of <strong><em>rsync://mirrors.kernel.org</em></strong> with the new mirror.

* Make directory to hold all Fedora i386 Updates:

{{Code|mkdir -p /var/hda/files/yum/f12/i386/updates}}

* Download Fedora i386 Updates from repo mirror (may take a while):

{{Code|rsync -avrt --delete --exclude<nowiki>=</nowiki>debug/ --exclude<nowiki>=</nowiki>drpms/ rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/12/i386/ /var/hda/files/yum/f12/i386/updates}}

* Build local repo structure index:

{{Code|yum -y install createrepo

createrepo /var/hda/files/yum/f12/i386/updates}}

* Generate <strong>fedora-updates-i386.repo</strong> (point to your HDA local repository):

{{Code|vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-i386.repo}}

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0}}

* Schedule nightly task to synchronize (downloads new updates) Fedora mirror with HDA repo. This will only download new udpates to your HDA, so it shouldn't take long. Recommend you stagger scheduled time for each repo added by 1 hour.:

{{Code|crontab -e}}

and add the following line:

{{Text|Text= 0 1 * * * rsync -auv --delete --exclude=debug/ --exclude=drpms/ rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/12/i386/ /var/hda/files/yum/f12/i386/updates}}

* Refresh repo list.

{{Code|yum clean all}}

* All Fedora i386 Updates will now be retrieved locally from your HDA.
