cloudera manager repo always points to the internet

I successfully installed the cloudera manager on my 1 server. I went into the http://nn1work:7180/cmf and am trying to build my cluster.

 

I choose the parcel based installation and it tries to install the software on my data nodes.

 

I get an error

I can open the /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudera-manager.repo file and I can see that it is pointing to the internet. I edit this file and make the baseurl point to my local repository and then retry the failed install.
 
what the cloudera does is that it overwrites my cloudera-manager.repo file with a new one which is again pointing to the internet.
 
why is it doing that? how can I make the install use my customer cloudera repo rather than the one on the internet?
