how to download only newer updates with rsync?

[shams]

hi,
i have local repo of fc5 updates, i use rsync to get the updates from the fedora repos, the problem is the updates contain two versions of some packages which are the newer and old updates, it is defficult to add each the old file to the exclude rules of rsync, is there any way to tell rsync to download the newer version of updates and ignore the older ones from the fedora server?

Well, I have a repo too... and it is easy to add dirs... I'll show you my files. You should really read the man pages of rsync

[renich@mipc ~] # man rsync

daily cron file

#!/bin/sh

function update_repo() {
echo Update started at: `date`

rsync -a --partial --stats --delete-before --delete-excluded --force --filter='m
erge /root/.fedora-repo_rsync_rules' rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/ /var/www
/html/fedora/

echo Update ended at at: `date`
echo

exit 0
} > /root/fedora-repo_updates.log

update_repo

exit 0;
