You could write a daemon that monitors /etc with inotify. Alternately,
replace rpm with a wrapper script that does your monitoring.

it's been that way for quite a while ,actually.

install will look at the argument and if it looks like a path and the
file exists then it will use it.

no, you don't

yum --nogpgcheck install /path/to/some/file.rpm

OR

you set gpgcheck=0 in yum.conf under [main]

and set gpgcheck=1 in each of your [repo] sections.

That way your repos always default to gpg checking and your local
installs do not.

if you so desired.

If you want that, cft[1] is your friend - it does exactly what you
suggest.

Or take a look at incrond, included in fedora already.
