You might want to keep local mirrors and just do periodic rebuilds. Updates
happen often enough, that if current means say within a week, you should
probably just do weekly rebuilds. When you down to a timescale of about a
day, it might be worth checking if updates actually affect your spin before
doing the rebuild.
