Bug 190674

Description of problem:

"rpm" allows a direct URL argument for install, query, etc... of a rpm package.
"yum" should allow this functionality as well in its "localinstall" or possibly
a new argument.
There seems to be no "yum-utils" tool that offers this functionality either.

E.g., a common program that has a dependency on compat-libstdc++ which is often
not installed:  
# yum localinstall
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/7x/7.0.5/enu/AdobeReader_enu-7.0.5-1.i386.rpm

An additional issue is that "yum" will attempt to check signatures on all
packages, including the "local" package.  "yum" should default to "rpm"'s
default that if a user is explicitly specifying a package.  In the above
example, "yum" should check all dependency signatures, but not the direct rpm
package.

I'm curious if that is not directly feasible.  E.g., does "yum" merely pass on
all rpm packages to "rpm" and then report back if _any_ signature check fails? 
Or does it check signatures individually before passing to "rpm"?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Actual results:

Setting up Local Package Process

Expected results:

No messages, automatically fetches via ftp/http, resolves dependencies, checks
signatures _except_ for the explicitly named rpm package.
