-STAGE_DESC = "Install packages using YUM"

-Depsolves, downloads, and installs packages (and dependencies) using YUM.
-
-Writes the `repos` into `/tmp/yum.conf`, does some tree setup, and then runs
-the buildhost's `yum` command with `--installroot`, plus the following
-arguments generated from the stage options:
-
-* `--releasever={releasever}`
-* `--rpmverbosity={verbosity}`
-* `--config=/tmp/yum.conf`
-
-To prepare the tree, this stage mounts `devtmpfs`, `sysfs`, and `proc` at
-`/dev`, `/sys`, and `/proc` (respectively).
-
-Each repo listed in `repos` needs at least one of `mirrorlist`, `metalink`, or
-`baseurl`. If a `gpgkey` is provided, `gpgcheck` will be turned on for that
-repo, and YUM will exit with an error unless every package downloaded from that
-repo is signed by one of the trusted `gpgkey`s.
-
-Buildhost commands used: `/bin/sh`, `yum`, `mkdir`, `mount`.
