I can give you the scripts that I use for the Ircam mirror.

If you make a mirror, it's better if it is a full mirror that includes
the redhat distros.

What you can do to 'prepare' things is to install the redhat 7.2, 7.3,
8.0 and 9, using a redhat mirror close to your site. In the directory
tree of the server, they are located at:
<<ROOT DIRECTORY>>/mirror/redhat/linux/

Note also that the whole Planet CCRMA site is about 26Gbytes... It's not
a small site!
