Hi Jason, Thanks for reaching out to me. I at this stage just want to mirror x86_64 bit architecture which if I saw right was under 200gb.
# du -s /srv/mirror/pub/fedora-buffet/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64 178634840 /srv/mirror/pub/fedora-buffet/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64
That leaves out the arm architectures as well as the source packages. You can do even less if don't want the ISO file or the debuginfo packages:
# du -s os 86534556 os
But of course it depends on exactly what you want.
What exactly should I look for in the repo if im going to rsync the 64 bit architecture at this stage?
Pick a mirror that does rsync, and grab just the subset of fedora-enchilada that you want. For example:
rsync rsync://pubmirror1.math.uh.edu/fedora-enchilada/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/
Just add your usual options and a destination. Of course, you might not be near me so you may want to pick another mirror.
That's an installable tree and includes minimal boot images (so you can do a PXE install or set up a VM using just what's in that directory). Stick that on a web server and I believe you have enough to install and update a basic rawhide machine (as long as it's x86_64, of course, and doesn't use the modular stuff). You will of course need to configure the installed system to look at that repository instead of using the global ones. I'm pretty sure for a base rawhide system that's only /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo
I saw a swiss mirror and it had the full enchilada?
Plenty of mirrors have fedora-enchilada, I think. Just find one that has good bandwidth and latency for you.
