Well, the point of Yum isn't the web interface; people are supposed to
get in via the yum tool.  This may all work a lot better from there.

However, what's missing from that link is actual instructions on using
the Yum repo.

In fact, I don't know what that particular interface even is displaying;
it's not the actual contents of Yum, that's for sure.  Here's the actual
contents:
