So Ive basically got a bunch of rpms for my own application.Can I create somethign like an "rpm of rpm's" so that i have a single package?

Why don't you just zip them up?

I was thinking in the lines of having to perform only one rpm command to install all of them

# rpm -ivh *.rpm

or you could compress them into a tar.gz and then script it as follows

First compress them
tar czf packages.tar.gz *.rpm

Then the script. name it script.sh for our example.

#!/bin/sh

PACKAGE=$1

tar xzf $PACKAGE
sudo rpm -ivh *.rpm

Then when u want to install these just do this
./script.sh packages.tar.gz

**EDIT**
Don't forget to change permissions on the script so it is executable.
chmod u+x script.sh
