Oh, this works when the CentOS Extras repository is available, which it
is not by default on RHEL, duh!

You can edit the .repo file that comes from the centos-release package:

  $ cd /var/tmp
  $ curl -o http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/centos-release-6-8.el6.centos.12.3.x86_64.rpm
  $ rpm2cpio < centos-release*.rpm | cpio -id '*.repo'
  $ ls etc/yum.repos.d/

Copy the definition for the extras repository to a new file under
/etc/yum.repos.d/centos-extras.repo and you should be able to have it
all working with that.
