This is part of the effort to move away from up2date and solidify all 
the package management tools based on yum. Yum by default is configured 
in Fedora to connect to Internet repositories though you can very well 
manually configure it to point to local repositories which Pirut will 
honor. There wasnt enough time to complete the work to make Pirut and 
Yum work with CD repositories by as a Pirut option during FC5 
development time.

This is one of the commonly reported issues as documented here -
