CentOS - Jun 2008 - Using reposync to mirror updates

Hi all,

  Somebody can sends me an example about how can I mirror updates from centos 
and rhn for centos 4.x/5.x and rhel 4.x/5.x using reposync on centos 5.1??

Many thanks.

What's the parameter you don't understand ? reposync --help doesn't 
return a lot of parameters ....
Keep in mind though that reposync will only download rpms, and will not 
generate the yum metadata .. so you'll have to create it yourself with 
createrepo .
Why not just use rsync to get all the stuff in one go ?
And regarding fetching from rhn, it works but it's not supported by RH 
(even if reposync is included ... sigh ...)
