ezreposync

Create local EL6/7 yum repositories with group and security metadata. Multiple repos can be specified, defaults to all enabled. Remote repo(s) are downloaded and local repo(s) are created, there is no need to run createrepo. Group and security metadata are included in the local repo(s) when found.

This tool automates the procedure described by Red Hat here and tries to emulate the behavior of reposync in EL8.
