There's the "repomanage" tool, which can be told to keep N old package
releases in a repo. That implies that you maintain a repo with your own
script(s). Of course, you could still use yum-plugin-local to populate its
local repo (with packages you use/need) and copy/move packages from there
to your real repo.
