[Yum] support for private repo on AWS S3

[Peter King]

Anybody has the experience to make yum work with apache module auth_mysql?
We are trying to use yum, now I am trying to figure this out. BTW, I am from
Asianux. Plz ignore me if my question is stupid.

We have a plan to use yum in Asianux 4.0.
