I have a package with many subpackages. Some of the subpackages depend

When downloading with yum/dnf, the rpm's know what they depend on, and

No problem there.
But, when doing a yum localinstall or dnf install with a local path, the
user has to either install all rpm's or manually resolve dependencies.
Is it common to specify inter-subpackage dependencies using Requires to
resolve this, or are users just on their own if they're installing
packages manually?
I'm not quite clear on what you're doing here, an example would be
helpful. But in general, if you are installing local packages, you have
to pass all the local rpm files on the command line. dnf will resolve
any dependencies needed from the repos if necessary. But obviously if
there is a local file that is needed, dnf can't automatically find it.
