From b8703c3f54cf8c392492442cf27812620cef8cd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Wienand <iwienand@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 13:51:23 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] Add notes on reprepro _addreference I had to figure out this command to restore some of our reprepro mirrors, add notes on it. Cleanup some other things I noticed; quotes around REPREPRO command, clarify the situation with pointing mirrors at the RO/RW volumes and refactor discussion.
