What I do for this is run podman containers. I create local images of
centos+epel, then use a helper script to run them with a podman volume
mounted at /var/cache/{yum,dnf}. With my script I can run repoquery
commands prefixed by a distro identifier.
c7 repoquery --whatprovides webserver
This also has the benefit of being able to start a container
interactively, install packages, and then throw it away when you're
done, with zero risk of installing packages on the host. If this
approach is interesting to you I can put my scripts in a public repo
somewhere.
