A script written to provide a local mirror copy of the Dell Updates for specific server models, I have only tested and used the mirror that is produced with the Dell Server Lifecycle Controller.

Move to python 3, add option to modify Catalog.xml #2
Move script to python 3, since python 2 is end of life. Only small
modifications required for this.
Queue module renamed to queue.
threading.isAlive() renamed to threading.is_alive().
replaced subprocess/md5 with hashlib routine instead. Not strictly
necessary for the python3 migration, but had to do with
string encoding mess from subprocess-output.
Options to change Catalog.xml was added to remove the occurance of
baseLocationand baseLocationAccessProtocols which are present in the
original Catalog from dell. These two variables forces
lifecyclecontroller / idrac to fetch updates from the location specified
there using that protocol, instead of the mirror this script created. As
described in https://github.com/littlejon/dell-update-mirror/issues/1
