Interesting idea!
yum --setopt=keepcache=1 --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c5* -y --installroot=$ROOT install $rpms
# Fix up RPM database
rm $ROOT/var/lib/rpm/*
chroot $ROOT /bin/rpm --initdb
chroot $ROOT /bin/rpm -i --justdb '/var/cache/yum/*/packages/*.rpm'
And y'know what? it worked!
Very good idea. Thanks!
