Assuredly not. Yum package list updates alone are painful; the overhead of
invoking yum is kind of a bore, imhe. Not sure what the op's package list
looked like, but I do recall yum requiring a hard first arg for local
packages. If you want to drag the package from the repo, sed out the
arch/version/.rpm stuff and get the raw package name. xarg those to a space
separated list for yum in bash. Or just sudo yum install apt (*debian fanboi
flames*)
