Yum/Apt repositories in Package Management

[Dan Goodes]

Hi Folks,

Just a question (that's what mailing lists are for)... In the improved 
package management software (now including support for apt and yum 
repositories), does the sources list file support username/password 
authentication for repositories? I have a "premium" account on my local 
apt repository that requires me to login with u/p. With Synaptic, I can 
specify the username and password in the form http://user:pass@host/ or 
ftp://user:pass@host/. Last time I checked, Yum did not support this 
(however it was added to the CVS for yum after a quick discussion on the 
yum mailing list). Will the package management support it?
