Well, --rpm-list will pull in the dependencies automatically. Reposync 
in yum has no blacklist that I'm aware of. rsync does if you
are copying form a rsync mirror, though cobbler doesn't yet have a way 
to relay the usage of an excludes file along for repos (it does
for imports). However, most people will be accessing yum mirrors over 
http/ftp anyway.

Anyway, your english is fine, if you can avoid top-posting to the list 
that would be good though as it makes threads much easier
to read when comments are in chronological order :)
