This is not the name of the repository, it is the name of the package. A "repository" is a place where several (many) packages are collected to install from there. If you do a yum repolist you will see a list of repositories. Look in the directory /etc/yum.repos.d and you will see some files named exactly like the list you got but with the ending "repo". These files are the definition files of the respective repo. Have a look at existing files to see the structure. You can even create a local repository by downloading rpm-files, putting them into a directory and creating a repository from that.

First you need to tell yum that you want to use a new repository: a repo-file for a local repository (/etc/yum.repo.d/local.repo) could look as simple as this:

Code:

name=Local Repository
baseurl=file:///your/directory/with/rpms
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Then put your rpms in /your/directory/with/rpms and run createrepo /your/directory/with/rpms.This is it. You may need to install the rpm-package with the createrepo utility first if you don't have it on your system. Now you can install the rpms from this directory using yum install ..... Notice that when you add, remove or change rpms from this directory you need to run createrepo again to update the repository information.

I hope this helps.
