I have done a brief perusal of

http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Guides

Is there BNF or syntax charts available for yum?  I have found none, 
with the only option thereby being to peruse the source code.  I have 
done some reading in the guides, but these do not seem particularly well 
presented.

Is the EL N (in this case N = 6 ) implementation of yum conforming to 
the material in the above Guides?
