Or, alternatively if you have to grab non-RPM files, since cobbler runs
behind Apache just make a /pub directory and wget them during %post. If
you're using a Satellite/Spacewalk server, there's already a pub directory
there, so you can use that as well.
If you have that problem (no RPMs), don't just do wget as then you won't
have a way to update those files later.
You could use a configuration management system -- two suggestions: the
one included in Cobbler may be workable just for config files, and if
you have something more complex, use Cobbler's Puppet integration feature.
RPM packaging and creating your own repo is really the way to go.
