Trying to get yum to install dependencies from own repo

Question

I have created a yum repository on a machine I have. I have thrown certain RPM's into it and created the repo. On my second machine I am able to view these repos and the files in them by doing a yum list. The second part of this is I have done a spec file that creates an rpm that depends on all of the RPM's in this specific repo but when I do a yum install createdrpm it determines the correct dependencies, but does not install them from my own repo.

I have tried searching over the web for this, but no luck unfortunately. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks

In the rpm spec file, the Requires section should list the package names that are shown in the yum repo, not the rpm filenames.

For example:

 yum list | grep something
 something.noarch v1.0

The rpm spec file should have:

Require: something >= 1.0
