-Note that RPM tools do not understand <path_to_repo> if it contains the drive specification. In this case you will have to add a kLIBC path rewriter entry that maps e.g. {{{/drives/p}}} to your {{{P:}}} drive and then {{{baseurl}}} will become {{{"file:///drives/p/temp/build/RPMS"}}} and for {{{createrepo}}} you will give {{{"/drives/p/temp/build/RPMS"}}}. Be sure to add a trailing / after P: in the klibc path rewriter rule.
+As YUM doesn't understand the : after our driveletter, we need to use the %3A instead. This is the : in a URI. The x above stands for any drive, where you want to store your local rpm. <path_to_repo> stands for the local directory.
+
+As example:[[br]]
+when your local repo is at q:\rpmbuild\localrepo, then you have to add in the local.repo file {{{baseurl = file:q%3A/rpmbuild/localrepo}}} and for createrepo it is {{{sh -c "createrepo q:/rpmbuild/localrepo"}}}
