# Now that you have a repo setup, "yum" needs to know about it. Create a file named
# <my_local_depot>.repo under /etc/yum.repos.d directory with following content:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/my_local_depot
[my_local_depot]
name=my_local_depot
baseurl=file:///depot/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/<RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7>
# * Note: If GPG key is not defined in yum.repos.d file, you'll have to import a valid key,
# usually under /etc/pki/rpm-gpg, before trying to install any package, otherwise you'll
# have a message similar to this one:
#
# You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing.
# However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download
# the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
# You can do that by running the command:
# rpm --import public.gpg.key
#
# Alternatively you can specify the url to the key you would like to use
# for a repository in the 'gpgkey' option in a repository section and yum
# will install it for you.
#
# For more information contact your distribution or package provider.
# The Project GPG keys are included in the centos-release package, and are typically
# found in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg
# To import a GPG key do this:
find / -name "*RPM-GPG*"

# To test, run a "yum" command. It should be pulling information about packages from the
