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:

<mount point>
              !
              !-----------------> yum.repo
              1
              ------------------> <repo dir>

in the yum.repo file you have a reletive refernce to <repo dir>

If yum run the relas base uri may be build be the path of the mount point
and the relative bas uri specification from the yum.repo file.
