mirroring hardware repository

[Eric Yablonowitz]

Hello,

Per one of Michael Brown's posts, I have been using lftp to mirror  
the http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/ repository for a little  
while now.  I would like to do the same with http://linux.dell.com/ 
repo/hardware/.  However it appears that there are hard links being  
used and my mirror had grown to over 10GB before I killed lftp.  Ah,  
how easy this would be with rsync (and symlinks)!

Now I know I can recreate the repository from the Server Assistant  
CD, but ideally I only want to have to do this work once and then  
have the mirror automatically updated  (like all my other mirrors).

I noticed that the http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/ index page  
mentions using reposync, but this only seems to mirror the RPMs for  
the specific machine-type from which I am running reposync.  Whereas  
I want a fully functional mirror that works exactly like the Dell  
repo for all Dell machine types.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Eric
