Your question is not very clear. Do you mean that you have just a local directory of RPMS or that you maintain a local repo? If just a directory then you may want to read: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalRepos http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror In either case, it you want to see what updates are available from a particular repo, say "reponame": yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo reponame check-update You could then download and put RPMS in your local repo as desired.
