Issue

  • Is is possible to allow for ad-hoc, point in time use of a yum repo? 

  • Something like 'yum --includerepo=http://login:password@yum.awesome.com/ install awesome-package' without having anything related to yum.awesome.com in a .repo file in yum.repos.d/ ? 

Environment

  • RHEL as yum client
