In order to add a urpmi repository, it must provide a hdlist.

That is done with tools related to genhdlist. The process is not well 
documented as far as I know. I cd  to the directory containing the files and 

# genhdlist `pwd`

And then add it to the media list.

You _should_  be able to do it with urpmi.addmedia using the -f option, like:

# urpmi.addmedia -f <repository name> file://<path to your local files>

but I always get an error like: Can't use string ("MyRPM") as a HASH ref while 
"strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/urpm.pm line 914.

I have no idea what to do about that and I'm probably doing this all woring as 
well.

The following links might help us if they were in English:

I would really like to find a site similar to:
