So, I read the blurb that strongly advises against doing an iso-based fedup, and strongly encouraging a network-based fedup in order to yank in all the updates at once.
I have a bunch of machines to upgrade to both the workstation and server products. Having each one download everything it needs, is going to get real old.
In the past I simply rsync-ed the installation image. I have plenty of disk space on the LAN. Then I just fedup-ed everything from my rsynced image. This was almost the most efficient way to get everything updated.
Is there a single repository that I can keep rsync-ing regularly, and use it to upgrade my machines – to both workstation and server products – over a period of time?

Yes. The separate directory trees are really an artifact of the process which builds the install media. Everything is actually under
https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Everything/
and all of the updates are shared at
https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/21/
In the future, we may go to a multi-repository model, but there are a lot of technical problems to solve first (and many reasons not to).

I have always done my own rsyncing for local repos. But was pointed to the place to do it right:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring
Once you have your local repo, point yum to it and off you go.

About how much space would a local mirror take?
I have multiple machines and in the same boat.

This is for OS only. Last download was sunday, so the final might have be a bit more, or a bit less. Of course updates grow and grow.

From the link provided, they show the full maximum, and it is over 500g.
I will look for a drive and setup a 1T space as I have to add rpmfusion as well.
Thanks for the quick response.

Well yeah, what with multiple versions, sources, debug, etc. I just pull down the part of the tree I need. I currently do things like:
screen rsync -auv --delete rsync://fedora.mirrors.pair.com/linux/releases/21/Server/x86_64/os/ /media/usbdrive/repos/fedora/21/os/x86_64
But it is failing remotely. Screen is just terminating without telling me why. Will have to wait to I get home (sitting in the Delta lounge in LAX after my last customer meeting for the year).

Thanks.
I will look at that for my home network. 5 machines all needing access. I will also need the 32 bit repositories for a couple of systems.
Have a good flight.
