Here my mindflashes:
1.) It may be nice to have a frontend for createrepo to create a
repository on a media
for offline installation/updates.
2.) yum should be able to unterstand uri likes file://...
3.) It shoulb be able to put i yum.repo file on a media and specified
this file as
# yum --repo <repofile> ...

by frontend, do you mean graphical tool? createrepo is a frontend to
itself, and has the ability to create repodata on media. It's how we
create the repodata on CDs/DVDs.

If you want to see how to make a repo it's a pretty simple process and
documented here:

After I have read this page, I sure that yum support file:// uri. But
it may be nice, if you may
able to specifed relative pathes, so we have the follow file layout:

Is this really a new feature? I could have sworn this was already
possible. In fact I seem to remember systems installed from live CDs
refusing to install any packages from /any/ source if the media wasn't
in the drive as of a few releases back, due to the media being
configured as a package source.

that's something different
take this scenario, you have 3 installation CDs
KDE on CD2 needs libfoo on CD3
no createrepo or file:// could help you them
and yum API already support what I request, it's called media://
but package kit does not support it
> It may be nice to have a frontend for createrepo to create a
yes I made a hal/dbus/pynotify that creates a file in
/etc/yum.repos.d/ having file:// that points to the inserted media and
remove it when the media is ejected
but that is not the real solution

this **was** possible with F8 and its package manager which is dropped
and replaced with package kit
no other package manager support this feature now
take my word, I have tried them all GUI and CLI (smart, yumex,
apt-get, synaptic ...etc.)

I think this scenario may get difficuilt because yo want to avoid
that the used allway change the CD in the CD-ROM drive.

That sound interesting.
