Is there a way I can keep a complete mirror of old/new releases of CentOS 4/5 automagically? In other words I would pull the old files from the vault site when needed, and new files from one of the other mirrors. I've seen/used a few scripts but rsync just stomps the old releases with the latest. The key issue here is having new release detection happen programmatically so I don't need to manage it once it's setup. Before I reinvent the wheel, I just wanted to see if there was a known method of accomplishing this. Q. Why? A. Because I have customers that need access to older OS builds as their products do not move as quickly as CentOS. Thanks in advance. Chris

If you want to keep all old, superceded files you should make a copy of each daily rsync. If what you mean by release is 5.1, 5.2 etc. I guess you would need to rsync against 5.1 instead of 5.
