I've dealt with exactly this for RHEL, CentOS, and SL compatibily in
the past. Please feel free to examine the kind of work I've done to
use local "mock" config files in local working directories, with my
work with Samba, py2pack, and other tools. The py2pack is probably the
smallest and the easy to read, and most recently tested, at

Also, if you need to use SL, I'd encourage you to set up a local
mirror of SL, even on your local system so you can use "file:///"
based URLs for your repositories. My local mirroring scripts are at
