Creating a local rpmforge/repoforge mirror?
Solution 1:
We are mirroring RPMForge form this server:
mirror="rsync://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/dag"
It's quite fast and reliable.For EL5 it takes 13G, I assume it would be the same for 6
It's common practice but it depends how many machines do you have. We are serving our internal mirrort to 3000+ hosts, so it absolutely makes sense
