No, unfortunately I don't think reposync supports blacklists of any
kind, and cobbler is just a wrapper around the standard CLI tools.
OK, then can I get a better understanding of what happens when I do the "cobbler
reposync" command ?
I want to see if I can exclude the offending packages at the repo mirror by hand.
Doing it once at that level is preferred to doing it at each client.
Having created a custom local repo, I know it could be as simple as editing the RPM
collection and running "createrepo", but I need to do it so that cobbler will
pick up my modifications.
