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_6_overview_roadmap__demo.pdf Grant
