Hi all,

I thought it could be a good idea to have a full local copy of SL on some of our systems. Is a mirror what I want?

For the same problem, Debian advises (https://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror) : "Is a mirror the right choice? Sometimes people mistakenly start a mirror, when they actually want to run a caching proxy, such as apt-cacher-ng."
But that is a debian tool, and I am not even sure I understand how it is different from mirroring...

Do we have something similar, maybe based on yum / dnf?

In fact, I would welcome any comment on how to set a full local copy of SL7 and in which respective context...

Thanks!
