if I have a local centos yum mirror, whats the best way of adjusting the yum.repos.d/*.repo files to use this? If I simply edit CentOS-Base.repo there stands a chance that a yum update could conflict with my changes.
am I better off creating a 'new' .repo and setting the stock one to 'enable=0' ?
It doesn't really matter as the stock repo files are setup as %config(noreplace) ... meaning that any changes (setting enable=0, editing baseurl=, etc.) will cause a .rpmnew file to be created on an upgrade.
SO ... may as well edit the file and change it the way you want to.
In my case, I change the baseurl= line to my local yum repo and comment out the mirrorlist= line to force getting files locally only.
That's what we do as well.
Locally built packages, on the other hand, are stored in a separate local repo; those do get their own .repo file.
This is exactly what I do as well.
