You need is the "repodata" of the repository you try to install from on
a machine internal of your network (e.g. on a local ftp, http server=

For remote site already shipping repodata, all you need to do is to
mirror these remote sites on and to set up your local yum client
configuration to the directory on your local mirror/server.

For local/custom-built rpms, put the rpms into one directory and run
createrepo (cf. createrepo --help).
