Hay my main bitch with a smile is that since 5.2 I could point yast to

to create a yast repository, and go to all that work, just to include an
existing directory on my laptop say for example the latest KDE just to
ensure that all dependencies are addressed. Used to be as simple as point
an click (and since 5.2) Now its a half hour exercise.

YaST1 could do that, and for a long time YaST2 couldn't. But in the later
releases, you have the possibility to add a "local directory" as an
installation source in YaST, and it will take it even if it isn't in
repository format (IOW it's just a directory of rpms)

From the command line, it's "rug mount /path/to/dir <name>" and it gets
added as an installation source

Is it possible to use Yast in 10.1 in the same way as 10.0?

Thanks,
