[TriLUG] Local repo

[Seva Adari]

I don't want to hijack John's 'Patch Management' thread so I am opening
a new message thread.

Igor,

Can you elaborate on your local repo process. So, you download needed packages
to a local server and do they become part of some rpmdb or just stay as files?
Does this repo then listens for clients requests and serves the
updates or your client
machines come to this server (via say ftp) pick up the needed files and update?

Thanks
