That is an issue I brought up on IRC a few weeks back.

[Tuesday, April 10, 2012] [14:29:14] <Authority> Is there an easy way to enable
"--delete" for my rsync's when replicating repos?  I'm finding that my remote
cobblers are ending up with a lot of cruft after I remove packages from the
master repo and they remain in the remote repos.

[Tuesday, April 10, 2012] [14:30:39] <Authority> I'm using Cobbler 2.0.11

[Tuesday, April 10, 2012] [17:01:08] <jimi_c>   @Authority: no, it doesn't look
like there is. Looking in action_reposync.py, the command is pretty much
hard-coded, and doesn't allow extra options. You can open an issue for that, if
you like, and in the meantime you could edit that file to include the --delete
option

[Tuesday, April 10, 2012] [17:21:32] <jimi_c>   replicate is, in my opinion,
very broken. I'm considering doing a major rewrite on it


I did not open a bug/feature request since it's already seemed to be a sore spot
and instead just worked around it by running a separate "rsync --delete" on each
repo on the remote side after my replicate.
