Replacing Apt with Yum.. SSH:// Support?

[Pete Toscano]

I think I know the answer to this, but I want to make sure...

I am currently using apt to distribute updates to my servers.  I run one
central repository where my servers use ssh to attach to it and get
updates.  Due to security-related political issues, ssh is the only way
I can easily do updates for about 2/3 of my servers.

Can I use ssh:// or sftp:// as the protocol in the yum.repos.d/*repo
files or would I have to resort to ssh tunneling tricks?  Does anyone
know if this is a planned feature for the future?

Thanks,
pete
