Since I'm on a testing stage, installing, upgrading, and re-installing several 
times with slightly different setups and so on, I think the easiest way would 
be to only configure one proxy line on yum.conf on each new installation than 
playing each time with the .repo files on /etc/yum.repos.d or moving around 
RPMs between systems... after all what I need is a proxy-cache which knows how 
to handle RPMs: am I wrong?
