You don't need to install the buildsys-macros package on your build 
system, it just needs to be in your local [groups] repo.

Your [groups] points to the same URL as the [core] repo; it should point 
to the directory you ran createrepo in for the local groups repo.

Once you've made the local groups repo from the minimal.xml file, you 
need to change:

config_opts['buildgroup'] = 'build-minimal build-base build'

back to:

config_opts['buildgroup'] = 'build'

You need to disable the [local] repo.

You need to add baseurl lines for the [updates-released] and [extras] 
repos that point to your local mirrors of these repos.
