Maintaining Local Yum Repositories

user13015408

I am investigating going ahead with Oracle Linux over CentOS on my employer's network. I don't intend to convert existing servers -- the conversion script has failed badly a couple of time -- so much as replace them at upgrade time.

My question is this: Is there a way to sync a locally managed repository with the official Oracle ones? Right now I use rsync but I am not above resorting to different tool.

I use reposync (OL8)

dnf reposync --delete --download-metadata -p /repo/OL8 --remote-time

It repos package's (including modules) held in the repos in the servers /etc/yum.repos.d/

Using OL8's reposync is the answer. I also wrote a blog post about using containers to enable you to run the sync anywhere. I run it on my Synology NAS, for example.

Looks like reposync may be just the thing. I need. Thank you.
