I just set up a bash script that uses wget to mirror SuSE and RH's ftp site to our
local server. Keeps it orderly that way. I've also worked out a part that compiles the
src.rpms and i686 and it does a pretty god job, reporting errors and such, but I
haven't had time to tech it to only compile the recent ones. If I ever get it to
where I like it I'll pass it out. It's really nothing much, but if someone thinks they
would actually spend time improving it I'll think about passing it along. I'd like to
see it converted to python and maybe perl, but right now bash works great and
"everyone" has bash :-)
