| | 8 | == Downloading OS Errata == |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | Errata should normally be downloaded from the official public servers for the distribution you use. With Scientitific Linux it is possible to use `rsync` to syncrhonize a local directory with the official repository. The rsync official URL prefix is: |
| | 11 | * For SL4: |
| | 12 | {{{ |
| | 13 | rsync://rsync.scientificlinux.org/scientific/VERSION/ARCH/errata/SL/RPMS/ |
| | 14 | }}} |
| | 15 | * For SL5: |
| | 16 | {{{ |
| | 17 | rsync://rsync.scientificlinux.org/scientific/VERSION/ARCH/updates/security |
| | 18 | }}} |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | GRIF tends to have a rather up-to-date mirror of these repositories that you can access with http at: |
| | 21 | {{{ |
| | 22 | http://quattorsrv.lal.in2p3.fr/packages/os/VERSION/errata |
| | 23 | }}} |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | These are just suggestions, there are many way to synchronize with a reference repository, including YUM and a script provided by SCDB, [source:SCDB/trunk/utils/misc/sync-os-errata utils/misc/sync-os-errata], to do it in a cron job using `rsync` or `wget`. |
