1) If possible, NFS mount the directory on a machine with the newer
version of yum.

2) Copy the files locally, create the headers, then update the server.

Though for consistencies sake, if you are planning on making it a public
mirror, I would still suggest it match the other servers with your respin1
tree in a different place.
