If you delete the locally synced data after pushing into spacewalk, then do a
reposync, you will effectively be downloading all the packages again. Which
doesn't sound like you will gain anything. I guess if you just did the
reposync on the base packages, then you could safely delete them after
pushing into spacewalk, but with 'updates' or any other repos that are not
static, you would have the same issue.
Here's a thought, maybe you could zero out the packages after pushing into
spacewalk. Which would require a custom script. And you will need to do a
filelist before and after you synchronize so that you could take the diff and
only push the new files into spacewalk, then zero them out after the push.
That would save you from keeping duplicates of all the packages and a lot of
disk space. However reposync doesn't have that functionality, so a custom
script would need to be written.
There'd be nothing stopping you hardlinking identical packages from your repo
directory with those in the satellite directory that I can think of...
That wouldn't confuse reposync.
