9.4. Creando espejos YUM con reposync
reposync se utiliza para sincronizar un repositorio remoto YUM con un directorio local utilizando yum para recuperar los paquetes.
Uso:
reposync [options]
Opciones:
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
config file to use (defaults to /etc/yum.conf)
-a ARCH, --arch=ARCH act as if running the specified arch (default: current
arch, note: does not override $releasever)
-r REPOID, --repoid=REPOID
specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple
times (default is all enabled)
-e CACHEDIR, --cachedir=CACHEDIR
directory in which to store metadata
-t, --tempcache Use a temp dir for storing/accessing yum-cache
-d, --delete delete local packages no longer present in repository
-p DESTDIR, --download_path=DESTDIR
Path to download packages to: defaults to current dir
-g, --gpgcheck Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after
downloading
-u, --urls Just list urls of what would be downloaded, don't
download
-n, --newest-only Download only newest packages per-repo
-q, --quiet Output as little as possible
-l, --plugins enable yum plugin support
A partir del directorio local con los rpms, es trivial reconstruir los metadatos con createrepo.
Ejemplo de uso para sincronizar con el repositorio ejemplo rubyera.
$ reposync --repoid=rubyera

Si se intenta nuevamente sincronizar, reposync no volverá a descargar los paquetes existentes ahorrando ancho de banda.
$ reposync --repoid=rubyera

Un ejemplo de uso es crear un espejo local del repositorio fedora y otro del repositorio updates y usar dichos repositorios localmente. De esta forma sería sumamente rápido instalar y actualizar paquetes. Lo importante es mantener sincronizado regularmente el repositorio espejo local con el repositorio maestro correspondiente llamando por ejemplo cada hora a reposync y a createrepo. Es importante notar que el archivo de grupos no es descargado por reposync. Use wget o curl para descargarlo.
Una de las ventajas de usar reposync en vez de por ejemplo espejado con rsync, ftp o http, es que reposync al trabajar con yum se beneficia del listado de espejos existentes en la definición del repositorio que se quiere espejar. A cambio, cuando se usa rsync,ftp o http, se depende de un servidor maestro único, que si falla, es más difícil recuperarse de dicha falla y manejarla, con reposync es totalmente transparente y simple de hacer.
