centos_syncrepo

This little script will let you synchronize several CenOS repositories, including EPEL and REMI, on one single server so you can point your CentOS 6, 7 and 8 servers to it.

usage

./centos_syncrepo.sh 
Usage: centos_syncrepo.sh <version>
        where version can be 6, 7 or 8

        for example:
                centos_syncrepo.sh 8 <- to synchronize CentOS 8 repositories
                centos_syncrepo.sh 7 <- to synchronize CentOS 7 repositories
                centos_syncrepo.sh 6 <- to synchronize CentOS 6 repositories

what if I do not want to synchronize everything?

Just list it on the proper exclude-file to avoid downloading unneeded stuff, like ISO images.

Take a look at the example file:

cloud/
configmanagement/
cr/
fasttrack/
isos/
messaging/
opstools/
storage/
virt/

If you modify its filename you should also do the necessary changes in the script's source code.

what if a particular version of CentOS isn't supported?

That might happen, as I coded this script when I was working with CenOS servers some time ago and the latest version was 8.
