Mirroring the repositories

[Baird, Josh]

I am not very familiar with the Dell repo's.. but I don't imagine there is
very much in them?  What exactly will you be installing from the Dell repos?
I was referring to the RHEL repos in the previous email..

Josh,

 

    That is the process that I am finalizing today, I am hoping to not have
to pull the entire dell repo down if I don't need it. 75% of my machines are
2950s and the rest are 1950s. 

 

Would I need to pull everything under the sun to support them all with the
new repo change?

 

Michael

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.

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.
