[ ] to automatically sync changes from Fedora-updates repository
[ ] change the urls pointing to original server to new domain
[ ] store expired files in archive for later research purposes

use this url to sync files for example: http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/23/x86_64

on server, newest files are in local dir and backed-up files are in backup/{date-timestamp} dirs. Job is executed every 30 minutes (if there are changes).

[ ] repack files with gzip --rsyncable
[ ] use following folder structure for the backup data: backup/yyyy-mm-dd/x/ where x is a serial number of backup e.g. backup/2016-04-01/0/ for the first backup files.

this part is tricky, you would need to fix the checksums in repomd.xml to the new ones afterwards.

I hope that only librepo uses those checksums after download and as we bi-passed it there should be no need for this.

Ok, I merged this with slightly changed location and name of the script. Please setup your editor to trim trailing whitespaces ;-).
