Potential two part answer:
a) Point yum to a local repository.
b) Fill that repository via a daily torrent of upgraded Rawhide
RPMs.Change the .torrent
document daily. Probably a straightforward scripting problem.
A torrent of ALL of rawhide is 50+GB of disk space.
You'll never be able to sync it all and most people will be fairly
pissed about eating up that much space.
Benefits to Redhat:
1) Torrents are, probably, a lower load on your server.
2) Users contribute to solving the problem instead of whining
aboutdead mirrors.
3) Eventually move all Fedora users to this model. Make it the
default.
Benefits to Fedora users:
1) Get relatively rapid access to new RPMs.
once you get passed all the overhead
involved.
2) Simple but valuable contribution of bandwidth to the Fedora
cause.I
know I would feel better getting my updates via a torrent.
How do you separate out your updates from all the other crap?
