Oh, geez, sure, whatever you wish.

But seriously -- you would have been far more effective if you wrote it
in Python, using the Yum API. Being able to selectively download and
locally mirror the packages you care about (with all dependencies) is an
oft-requested feature. It's on my long list of things to do, right after
I familiarize myself with the API (via a small Repoview rewrite, most
likely).
