Katello seems to be a web front end for Pulp (and the upstream for the
new RH Satellite server). It seems to lack some of the power of using
just Pulp.
Do you have any directions on how to achieve what I want with Pulp?
Looks like I'd first make a repo to sync all the stuff I want, then make
secondary repos and copy from the main into them to make my locked repos.

Is there any way to diff two repos to see whats new?

Hello Everyone
I'm looking into the best way to have locked version repos for my
CentOS
systems. The systems are all set up with Chef and have a couple
different recopies/roles. I'd like to have locked version repos for
each
role with tested RPMs. Then perhaps quarterly apply any updates. It
would be nice to have something showing which updates are available for
these locked repos. I'd also want to be able to just push single update
RPMs into the repo (think heartbleed)
I've had a look at spacewalk and katello, but they seem a bit
complicated. Katello seems closer to what I'm looking for with its
versioned "Content Views", but I don't see how I could selectively
include some new packages in it. It seems like it only handles making
new snapshots of the underlying repos.
Maybe I'd be better off just setting up some repos on a web server and
manually adding packages? I'd probably want a way to symlink packages
to
prevent disk bloat.
What are other people doing out there?
Check out Pulp (pulpproject.org). Its the underlying technology used in the next version of Red Hat Satellite, and it has the features you describe.
