Vagrant - cache RPM's for faster provision

Currently have a Vagrant setup with a CentOS box with a shell provision script that installs few RPM's (via yum install). I'm constantly doing vagrant destroy -f && vagrant up, thus downloading those RPM's every time.

What's the best way to cache the downloaded RPM's and avoid downloading them on each iteration?

Moving the cachedir to the shared folder /vagrant seems to work fine.

To change it, provision a /etc/yum.conf with the following edit:

cachedir=/vagrant/tmp/yum/$basearch/$releasever
keepcache=1

Now your cache is preserved outside the VM.
