You *can* do this at the moment, although its a gross and nasty hack. Basically you set up your own repository. Here's an idea of what to do [untested]. Put a web server on your machine - bind it to loopback (127.0.0.1) only so you don't open up anything else on your box. Put the rpm you want to install in a directory that can be accessed via the web server - say /var/www/rpms/myrpms (which maps to http://127.0.0.1/rpms/myrpms/ and run yum-arch on /var/www/rpms . Then put http://127.0.0.1/rpms/ as your repo address in yum.conf It would be nice to be able to do this without needing to make yourself a full repo. Hmm... can you do this using file:// urls to do without the web server?
