Evening

I have googled for a way to pass yum module rpm prefix and I don’t think this is currently possible. Is that a right assessment? I am hoping I missed something.

I will look for sometime and try to contribute this enhancement but want someone to confirm if its in fact currently not possible to use this module with prefix

Regards

William
