That would help -- but only for people who were already mirroring
Extras, and who have the 'proper parameters' to rsync. What are those,
btw?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring
rsync -vaH --exclude-from=${EXCLUDES} --numeric-ids --delete --delete-after
--delay-updates \
rsync://downloadN.fedora.redhat.com/fedora-linux-core ${LOCAL_DIR}
is what I believe is recommended, for appropriate values of EXCLUDES,
N, and LOCAL_DIR.
Thanks,
Matt
