We use yam (now known as mrepo) from Dag Wieers to cache the repos
locally. Set it up initially with your uat config then when you are
happy point up2date to the yam server and build from there.
You could probably do it all manually by saving all the rpms locally,
dumping the rpm package info on a uat box then just using rpm to install
the local stuff.

Cheers,

Pete
