Mirroring the repositories

[Baird, Josh]

If I were you I would just setup a local repo and mirror all of the packages
for both distros (I do this with RHEL, not with Debian).  This will save
yourself and the mirror host tons of bandwidth.

Subject: Mirroring the repositories

 

I am in the process of upgrading our network here to the latest and greatest
hardware. To do this I am going to have to hit both the Debian and RedHat
repos from a large number of hosts (400+ per OS). Since this is a large
ammount of hosts, is there a best practice for which sections of the repos I
should mirror? Or should I assume that it is in my best intrest to grab them
all?

 

Looking forward to your input.
