I have a local repo for Rocky Linux 8. I am planning to add 9 also question is do I synch from the Rocky Linux 9.0? Or do I have to update my repo file to for each minor release?

9.0 is not supported. Only the latest is supported. We highly recommend syncing from the current and latest repositories.

I was ask as general practice. How to always have the most current minor version of 9 without having to manually update my mirror url. IE 9.0 to 9.1 My current mirror for Rocky 8 is hosted on a Rocky 8 box.

I setup my Rocky repo file like below in order to sync the repo. I wish there was a way so when repossync ran it didn’t create the directory as appstream9 and baseos9. But I couldn’t think how else to configure the repo file so it gets 9 repo and not 8.

[baseos9]  
name=Rocky Linux 9 - BaseOS  
baseurl=[http://mirror.hostart.az/Rocky-Linux/9.1/BaseOS/$basearch/os/](http://mirror.hostart.az/Rocky-Linux/9.1/BaseOS/%24basearch/os/)  
gpgcheck=1  
enabled=1  
countme=1  
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rockyofficial

[appstream9]  
name=Rocky Linux 9 - AppStream  
baseurl=[http://mirror.hostart.az/Rocky-Linux/9.1/AppStream/$basearch/os/](http://mirror.hostart.az/Rocky-Linux/9.1/AppStream/%24basearch/os/)  
#baseurl=[http://dl.rockylinux.org/$contentdir/$releasever/AppStream/$basearch/os/](http://dl.rockylinux.org/%24contentdir/%24releasever/AppStream/%24basearch/os/)

I would use

```auto
baseurl=http://mirror.hostart.az/Rocky-Linux/$releasever/BaseOS/$basearch/os/

```

Each Rocky 9 does have $releasever==9.

Then – just like on the official mirrors – have a symlink `9` → `9.1`.  
When your local repo gets the 9.2 content, you can update the symlink to point to `9.2`.
