</div>Sure. Just put the rpms of interest in a directory, run createrepo on the<br>
directory and set up an appropriate repo description in<br>
/etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo for some value of *.<br>
<br>
For myself I usually mirror the relevant arch parts of updates and<br>
updates-testing and only put a few special things in a local repo.</blockquote><div><br>As an extension of this: is it possible to upgrade a Fedora 10 install to Fedora 11, by using the Fedora 11 DVD as a local repository ? This would save me (and also lot of other people who do not have fast Internet connections and/or with time-capped Internet subscriptions), a lot of bandwidth and time (and $$).<br>
