Use yam to maintain your local repositories.
Once you get started with YAM you will see that you can create you own
repository for custom packages. You can also define your own groupsets
which will download packages from your custom repository
In order to have a custom repostory you will then need to edit
/etc/yum.r/myrepo.repo
