Hi all, any news on this request? Can we get rsync on the repos?

Thanks all.

As for https://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/ which is the actual repositories (.deb and .rpm) it’s only 35GB.

# du -sh xcat
35G xcat

My plan is to keep it also public: http://mirror.versatushpc.com.br/xcat/

Regards.

How large is the xcat repository? If there's any concern about opening up rsync causing a bandwidth or availability issue,  maybe the community could come together to host a few public mirrors with rsync access, and I'd be happy to be one.

I run "official" public mirrors for epel, fedora, rocky, and CentOS stream. I have the infrastructure to donate :-)

Hi Kilian,

reposync is great, mainly with Red Hat, since it’s the only way to mirror Red Hat distributions due to it’s “subscription manager” nature. I already use it for RHEL, but it’s not that great when you want to mirror multiple repositories and multiple versions. Also with EL8 there’s the would —download-metadata issue.

We do use it when it’s a stateful cluster with a single arch and single distribution, but my objetive here is to have a mirror, not a reposync one.

Also as I said on the last message, the storage system has standard storage tools, like rsync. Reposync is not available.

Regards.
