setup local yum cache for many distro's?


Hi all

I use a lot of distro's that make use to yum for updates. How would I setup 1 central proxy to cache all the yum updates, for the various Linux distro's that I use?

I have googled for local yum cache's, but it seems the only way todo this is to setup a yum repository, and then mirror all the updates, which will take a lot of bandwidth, and will download stuff that I'm probably not going to use.

I use Fedora Core, CentOS, Ubuntu, & OpenSuse, so to download whole repositories + additional repositories per distro for all of these isn't an option for me. Any ideas?

For rpm based stuff I think the topic to look at is local repo.
