This repository contains code that will help you create Rocks rolls for the CentOS release and updates repository that you choose.
Each release of Rocks is targeted at a specific version of CentOS.
Updating the installed version of CentOS in a specific version of Rocks is possible but may cause issues. This roll does not address these issues and merely provides a mechanism to build Rocks compatible rolls.
The following table illustrates the association of the recent Rocks/CentOS releases and whether (or not) building CentOS/Updates-CentOS ISOs for that version of Rocks is supported by this repository...
Rocks 7.0 (Manzanita) - CentOS 7.9.2009 - Supported in the 7.9.2009 branch
Rocks 7.0 (Manzanita) - CentOS 7.8.2003 - Supported in the 7.8.2003 branch
Rocks 7.0 (Manzanita) - CentOS 7.7.1908 - Supported in the 7.7.1908 branch
Rocks 7.0 (Manzanita) - CentOS 7.6.1810 - Supported in the 7.6.1810 branch
Rocks 7.0 (Manzanita) - CentOS 7.5.1804 - Supported in the 7.5.1804 branch
Rocks 7.0 (Manzanita) - CentOS 7.4.1708 - Supported in the 7.4.1708 branch (default)
Rocks 6.2 (Sidewinder) - CentOS 6.10 - Supported in the 6.10 branch
Rocks 6.2 (Sidewinder) - CentOS 6.9 - Supported in the 6.9 branch
Rocks 6.2 (Sidewinder) - CentOS 6.8 - Supported in the 6.8 branch
Rocks 6.2 (Sidewinder) - CentOS 6.7 - Supported in the 6.7 branch
Rocks 6.2 (Sidewinder) - CentOS 6.6 - Supported in the 6.6 branch (default)
Rocks 6.1.1 (Sand Boa) - CentOS 6.5 - Supported in the 6.5 branch (default)
Rocks 6.1 (Emerald Boa) - CentOS 6.4 - Unsupported

The mirrorbase target will build a roll from all RPMS in the 'os' directory of the CentOS mirror for the version matching the branch you are in.
This only needs to be done once.
NOTE: This will require enough space for TWO copies of all the RPMs in your ${PWD}. The mirrored RPM and the ISO with all mirrored RPMs. The ISOs range in size from 5.1 GB for CentOS-6.5 to 5.5 GB for CentOS-6.9.
[tcooper@sandboa-fe1 centos-roll]$ make mirrorbase

The mirrorupdates target will build a roll from all RPMs in the 'updates' directory of the CentOS mirror for the version matching the branch you are in.
This can be done each time you want to bring new updates to your system.
NOTE: This will require enough space for TWO copies of all the RPMs in your ${PWD}. The mirrored RPM and the ISO with all mirrored RPMs. The ISOs range in size from 1.2 GB for Updates-CentOS-6.9 to 2.0 GB for Updates-CentOS-6.7.
