<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">That's a helluva lot simpler than my original thought for you quandry which would be to create a blank repo called rhel-7-server-latest, do an rpm copy job on all the rpms in your latest snapshot, then tear
that -latest repo down and recreate quarterly with the new latest quarterly snapshot.
