Yes, my 8.0 Software Manager only ever works from local trees
(Contrib, 8.0, updates, unsupported are all defined sources, as they
should be for everyone - everything is at your fingertips). And
very fast it is, too!
Contrib from a mirror is only a list of RPMs so should work the same
way whether local or remote. ??? As I understand it, hdlist.cz is
a _system_ installer artifact, therefore irrelevant to Software
Manager. Software Manager is only an _RPM_ installer.
