I saw this a couple weeks ago as well. You may notice that the hash at the beginning of the repodata files' names is a little bit longer. It would appear that yum has once again changed the default hash algorithm, this time from sha1 to sha256. I would think you could use an rsync breed repo, but if you've got createrepo updating the existing cache instead of creating a new cache, I would expect this to fail as well. Or maybe it'll just write sha1 hashed files in addition to the sha256 hashed files. Haven't had to time to play around with this much yet, so I'd be interested to know what you find out.

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.
