I want to be able to cache yum updates locally so when I build machines via

seem to recall how to do this using wget, and googling hasn't turned
anything up yet. Does anyone know of some page that describes how to do
this? Thx.
My personal hack is set yum to cache (add 'keepcache=1' in /etc/yum.conf)
before updating the first machine I build on a new distro. Then when I build
the second or later machines I tarball up /var/cache/yum and drop it into the
new machine before starting the first update. It isn't pretty, but as long
you are working inside a single architecture it works like a champ.
Could you not set up squid on the gateway and then set yum to use a proxy?

I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
