manage packages without internet: planned in f8?

[Gianluca Cecchi]

Another approach with a little improvement but anyway pirut/yum error:
- set enabled=0 in fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo
- mount f7 dvd under /media/disk
- manually install createrepo rpm with "rpm -i"
- cd /media
- createrepo .
this creates a repodata directory tree under /media
- create fedora-DVD.repo file under /etc/yum.repos.d
with this in it:
[fedora-DVD]
baseurl=file:///media/disk
enabled=1

Now for example the command
yum search mysql -libs

gives a list of packages  both installed and from the new configured
fedora-DVD repository.
But pirut fails with a traceback
for example if I select amarok I get dependencies added, than I select
continue and then I get
unhandled exception:

Local variables in innermost frame:

netloc:

query:

"

also with yum I get the same
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

yum install amarok
goes through all dependency check but after confirmation of installation I
get
Total download size: 76 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y
Downloading Packages:

    base.doTransaction()
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 302, in doTransaction
    problems = self.downloadPkgs(downloadpkgs)

    a = a.getDiscNum()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 485, in
getDiscNum
    return int(fragid)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

Any hints?
I'm going to install f8 t2 on a vm and see if it is easier to do what I
want...

Thanks for your help
