I use 'mrepo' [1] to sync EPEL (and other repos) to a local mirror so systems not publicly routed can get packages. It generates an email of repo changes every time it runs, so I know what is added and removed.

I also subscribe to the epel-package-announce list [2] so I can see all the EPEL updates even before they hit the mirrors.
