[CentOS] local repo

[Steven Crothers]

Marian,

He wanted to disable default repos and enable his private mirror
instead. Your solution would actually not help him. He wants to make
his personal repo the primary repo for fresh installs, which can only
be done in %post since centos-release is going to overwrite it. Using
--disablerepo on a non-existent repo (the problem being expressed)
wouldn't work in this case.

Of course another option is to download the centos-release srpm, and
change the repos built in, or remove the repos entirely and make it
rely on your-repos.rpm or similar. That's probably a little over the
top for what you're looking for though.
