Wow, thats great! Why isn't this more widely suggested? How do I tell
it which repro to enable? In other words, with what to replace the
word 'whatever'? In yum.conf I have:

name=Dag APT Repository
baseurl=http://dag.freshrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
  http://dag.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
  http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
enabled=0
#gpgcheck=1

So I would install like this?
# yum --enablerepo=Dag APT Repository install packagename

Thanks. That is a great trick.
