I'm still pondering whether yum is only half of the answer or whether an
infrastructure built around bt would be better. Something like
update-daemon queries DNS to get a TXT value to the 'current'
bittorrent seed set (DNS is a nice scalable
mechanism to distribute the regularly queried info)
Use bt to sync the seed set and get an archive of
current .hdr files, using the old one as the start
point.
Work out which packages are needed
(Could skip this bit if you were caching for a
collection of your own boxes)
Map them to bt urls/seeds by a fixed algorithm
Bittorrent those
Sit around for a little while helping uplink
packages
Sleep
Back to start
