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. B/Regards.
