Rich,

So I am using reposync to synchronise the rdo-openstack as well as 
several other repos for my OpenStack implementation. My list of files 
that I use are in 
https://gitlab.arif-ali.co.uk/arif/openstack-lab/tree/master/reposync. I 
use the yum.conf within that directory that reposync points to.

I don't have a cron job per say, but when I go back to my environment, I 
do tend to synchronise by using a script before I start any new work on 
the system.

So I have deployed the same set of openstack RPMs in my PoC environment 
more than 20 times now, whether it is from the controller side or the 
nova side, this is an environment of 3 bare-metal machines; but this is 
not fixed environment, as they can easily be re-provisioned to any type 
at any time; i.e. I could have an all-in-one centos7 and all-in-one 
rhels7 on 2 different machines for testing purposes; or a 3 node 
Openstack implementation with 1 x controller, and 2 x nova+neutron-agents.

I hope that this is useful

I am more than happy to provide people with my setup if anyone is interested

regards,
