Chris, 

thank you for the reply. 

We had the same kind of setup in mind - download all packages to the
satellite server, and use
Puppet to manage which packages are installed on the different systems.
And using the satellite's channel utility we will have full control over
which patches/upgrades are available to the managed environments
(testing, production, etc). 


Kenneth

I'm doing that exact thing and no there isn't a document (that I know
of) on
the subject.  I will probably have on when I'm done but not at this
time.
The way I handle the interaction is my provisioning tool (cobbler) does
os
install and basic puppet bootstapping as well as satellite registration.

puppet handles all the package installations but no where does it
specify
versions etc. I use ensure => installed everywhere rather than ensure =>
latest or ensure => $version.

I basically use the satellite as a package store.
