I also mirror EPEL. And publish it via SpaceWalk for all the same reasons.
How big is EPEL? And when you mirror with SpaceWalk does it preserve old version so you'd have the possibility to downgrade after a change?
If you maintain official public mirror you can not step away from original, you should always rsync --delete [other options]... and have exact replica of original. Do I miss something?
Sorry, I misinterpreted what you said. I thought you meant that you kept a local mirror of EPEL for use with your SpaceWalk-managed systems.
I haven't used this but I have been following closely of late.....
If you are after more than a local copy, have a look at pulp http://www.pulpproject.org/ it is part of RedHat's next incarnation of Satellite, Satellite v6. talkes a lot of the hard work out of keeping a local cache of packages. If you want advanced features, you can install an agent on each machine to allow you to manage installs from the server.
Redhat are moving to a group of products to replace satellit v5, consisting of Puppet, Foreman, Katello, Pulp and candlepin. http://rhsummit.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/caplan_t_0330_red_hat_satellite_...
