Technically, yes. But you'll have to create the support for yourself. 
The currently supported frontend for RPM is dnf (which has replaced 
smart) and probably will not change very soon. So the more practical 
answer is: no, not really.


I would also

like to have the epel-release repository available in my image.


Uhm. Be aware that your custom built distribution is *not* some kind of 
Fedora-Light. Its an entirely different distribution, and mixing in 
repositories from somewhere is most certainly disastrous - or do you 
think using that OpenSuse repo plays along nicely with your CentOS 
install? :-)


So if you want additional software that is not packaged yet as an 
OpenEmbedded recipe, the way to archieve that is writing the recipes. 
Plus, rolling your own package server if you want runtime package 
management, of course. But there already stuff prepared and should be 
easy to find in the docs.

there is no yum recipe but you can install dnf, would that help?

[yocto] Adding support for yum in a yocto image

[Mark Hieber]

I am building a yocto image to run on a network device, and I need to have
yum installed in the image. Is this even possible? I would also like to
have the epel-release repository available in my image.

Thanks,

Mark
