Seriously? I'd say that if it's not set up that way it has no business
being included in a stable release of anything, let alone an
"enterprise operating system"...
When you use `$ sudo yum install whatever.rpm`, the output in the
shell
will often give you a clue as to what's going wrong--a missing
dependency,
etc.
Actually, I'm talking about cases where there isn't or shouldn't be
anything going wrong at all. The rpms install just fine from the
command line.

There's a nice bit of info on creating "local" repos for rpm packs you
might want to install that are not availble in standard CentOS repos.
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalRepos
This section, esp --
* Create /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo
shows you syntax etc.
I set up a local repo for my install DVD some time ago, then set it to
"enabled=0" it when I was basically finished with it. There were packs
on it that didn't seem to exist in any other CentOS repo.
You really could use ANY gpg key and just disable the gpgchek I think.
In any case, this is a good approach and will provide you with a "gui"
interface for installing the local rpms stored in one area of your system.
Hope this helps,
Kay

The command line is your friend.
Have a look at yumex. I think you'll prefer the command line, though.
