Try it and see, then you'll know how others will experience trying to
install your application. Doing a yum localinstall can install a file
that's not on any repo, but can't install needed dependencies that
aren't available through the repos the user has available to them.

I think you'd have to ensure that anything your file depends on is a
part of the usual files available from a repo.
