I managed to get this working using rsync.
It turns out that after the rsync, a reposync will rebuild the local yum repo
information so Cobbler will be happy.
However, all I wanted was a subset of the repo (I wanted func, but not the
rest of EPEL). The solution to this was to create "epel-6-x86_64" as an rsync
repo with everyting then create "func-6-x86_64" as only the three packages I
need (func, smolt, certmaster) and have it use the previously synced
epel-6-x86_64 as the mirror (sort of like a recursive call).
I now can install func automatically yet not install newer versions of other
packages.
Thanks for the rsync tip.
