Yum resolves dependencies....you can install a local yum repository and
specify it in the yum.conf

Howto for creating a yum repository is here:
http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO.html#toc5

However, you will have to take care of two responsibilities...

- Your rpm packages have a valid gpg signature and do not fail the
check-sum test of rpm. If gpg is not there, you have to specify that in
a gpgcheck=0 option in the yum.conf
- If your repository fails to satisfy any dependency or finds any file
failing the checksum & gpg test...it switches to the failover repository
mentioned in yum.conf and does not switch back.

If you wish to install seperate groups of packages on seperate machines,
there is a yumgroups method, in which you specfy a group of rpms in an
xml file and just:

yum install myxmlfilename

ThatÅ it...no botheration regarding dependencies or seperate
configurations for seperate machines. For further details of
yumgroups.xml, look it up in google or contact the yum mailing list.
