    I use yum just to install the packages not to download.

    1- Create a directory like /usr/share/yum-custom.

    2- Download the packages to that directory.

    3- cd to that directory and:
    # createrepo .

    4- Create the repository config file:
    # touch /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-custom.repo

    5- copy this to that file:
    [custom]
    name=Fedora Custom $releasever – $basearch
    baseurl=file:///usr/share/yum-custom/
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0

    Finally:
    # yum install postgresql*

    I think it would be much easier for everybody if postgresql had its
    own set of repositories. Each time you update the directory you would
    do a createrepo in that directoy. Then you could distribute a yum
    config file for the repositories using the mirrors already in place.
    Fedora does it but I don’t know the details. This is the default
    fedora yum update config file:

    $ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
    [updates]
    name=Fedora Core $releasever – $basearch – Updates
    #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
    mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-fc$releasever&arch=$basearch
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

    I mantain my own mirror of the Fedora repositories which are updated
    at night. This is the script I use to sync it:

    # cat rsync-yum-repo.sh
    rsync -q -a –exclude=debug –exclude=repodata
    rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/core/updates/5/i386/
    /html/yum/5/i386/updates
    rsync -q -a –exclude=debug –exclude=repodata
    rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/extras/5/i386/
    /html/yum/5/i386/extras
    rsync -q -a –exclude=debug –exclude=repodata
    rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/
    /html/yum/5/i386/os
    createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/updates/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/updates
    createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/extras/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/extras
    createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/os/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/os

    Then my yum config files point to the local repository in instead of
    to the mirrors.
