+i'm looking at such a thing, because afaik mgarepo has config files, if i set it 
+up locally a bit, this would upload locally.
+
+the idea is to use a local repo in urpmi-proxy with an overlay, packages that 
+would be submitted by mgarepo (locally, not for real!!!) would be put in to 
+the overlay, so the next build could use it.
+
+my urpmi-proxy that i made is still not packaged and it's not finished yet, but 
+i've been using it for my VM's for a while now.
+
+i had kind of planned to display a text when booting it, with how to configure 
+it.
