You actually do that unless you are running 'yum clean all' after
you finished with updates. Look around in subdirectories of
/var/cache/yum/. Try 'find /var/cache yum -name "*.rpm"' and check
what you got. See also in 'man yum' what are effects of various
'clean' options.
But could I nominate /var/cache/yum on my desktop as a yum repository,
for use by other machines on my home LAN?
Incidentally, I haven't understood how one keeps the metadata
on a local repository up to date.
Is one meant to run createrepo repeatedly?
