   Is it possible to install a yum repo as a dependency? My assumption is not for security reasons, but would be useful in many instances

      @musicman The whole repo? I wouldn’t think so.
      
      But you should be able to depend on packages that are only found in XYZ repo.

         the thing is, you can install repos via yum:
         
         yum install centos-release-scl
         
         but, I get it. Seems like something you might be able to turn on but I guess if you are going to the trouble of turning it on, you might as well run the yum command

            @musicman I'd expect that depending on XYZ repo would also make it depend on every piece of software in that repo.
