Wouldn't it be much more convenient to wget/curl download into a local
repo?
"rpm -Fvh rpm*.rpm" is the most simple way to test updating to
downloaded packages that do not need to add anything else from any
repo
that may be a workaround
but after nearly 10 years "yum update *.rpm" or "yum localupdate
*.rpm"
i have zero understanding for "dnf update *.rpm" not working properly
over months and releases
and a strong reason for prefer yum/dnf is the otherwise missing log (bad
enough now looking in two different logs) which is also broken because
it was for years at a logrotate of a whole year (one bugreport against
yum and one against dnf from me)

"This just wastes resources of the development to always change
unimportant parameters" says all, nobody right in his mind asked for
change the yearly logrotate since the log of updated/installed packages
don't grow endlessly
and one for logwatch, thanks for not doing the promised rname back to
yum as dnf was annocuned to happen the first time
