Assuming the repository/rpms is copied over to /yum-repo location, it can be specified to yum (in /etc/yum.conf) as: baseurl=file:///yum-repo I'm guessing up2date might use a similar spec (in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources) as: yum local-updates file:///yum-repo If header info gets out-of sync when you copy things over - you can always regenerate them with 'cd /yum-repo; yum-arch .'
