Hi,

We have lots of locally generated RPMs that we'd like to
install right after installing RHEL5.  We have set it up
as csci-local repository.  Before RHEL5 (while they were
still using up2date), we could put the configuration file
as /etc/yum.repos.d/csci-local.repo and then issue

   yum -y install \*

to install all of them (the local RPMs).  Now RHEL 5 uses
yum and this trick stop working as we intended (as it'll
pull in ALL RPMs, including the ones from RHN).  Anyone
knows a good way to do it now?  I tried 'yum localinstall'
but it does not appear to take wildcard.

Thanks in advance for your help.
