"yum localinstall" would be much more useful I think if it supported a "--gpgcheck=0" option so that you could install packages from places not listed in your yum configuration etc. without having to temporarily edit out the "gpgcheck=1" from /etc/yum.conf. Seth won't do it in yum itself because he feels it's a job for a plugin. Unfortunately I don't speak python so I can't write the plugin myself. Paul.
