Alle,

	I've recently installed mrepo on a CentOS 4.4 machines. Is it possible 
to download RHEL updates to the CentOS box mrepo, or do I have to 
download them to a RHEL box?
	I want to download updates for my RHEL ES 3.8 boxes to the CentOS box 
so I have a local repository for everything, inluding CentOS, RPMForge, etc.
	I set up /etc/mrepo.conf.d/rhel3es-i386.conf like this:

### Name: Red Hat Extended Server v3
### URL: http://www.redhat.com/

[rhel3es-i386]
name = Red Hat ES Server $release U8 ($arch)
release = 3
arch = i386
metadata = repomd yum repoview

### ISO images
iso = rhel-$release-u8-$arch-es-disc?.iso

### Additional repositories
updates = rhns:///rhel-$arch-es-3
fastrack = rhns:///rhel-$arch-es-3-fastrack
extras = rhns:///rhel-$arch-es-3-extras
devsuite = rhns:///rhel-$arch-es-3-devsuite
rhds = rhns:///rhel-3-es-$arch-rhds-2
rhaps = rhns:///rhel-3-es-$arch-rhaps-1

### RPMforge repository
rpmforge = 
rsync://apt.sw.be/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/redhat/el$release/en/$arch/RPMS.dag/#rpmforge 
= ftp://apt.sw.be/pub/dag/pub/redhat/el$release/en/$arch/RPMS.dag/

### ATrpms repository
rsync://dl.atrpms.net/dl.atrpms.net/el$release-$arch/atrpms/stable/

### PostgreSQL repository
ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/binary/v8.1.4/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel-as-$release-$arch/

	When I run mrepo -uvv I get this for all channels:

rhel3es-i386: Mirror packages from rhns:///rhel-i386-es-3-devsuite to 
/var/mrepo/rhel3es-i386/devsuite
rhnget: "Unknown error that needs more debugging occured with channel 
rhel-i386-es-3-devsuite. Skipping.\n'up2date'"
mrepo: Mirroring failed for rhns:///rhel-i386-es-3-devsuite with message:
   Failed with return code: 256

Best Regards,
Camron
