In case anyone else is reading this and going to attempt it I would suggest
they don't bother.  The easiest way to fool Red-Carpet is edit
/etc/yellowdog-release.  That worked great in YDL 2.1 when trying to use Red
Carpet before the channels were available.  It doesn't work nearly as well
in YDL 2.2 though.  The carpet doesn't detect deps properly.  So to save
people the time, if you want to use certain Carpet channels, just wait till
they are available.  Don't trick it.  :-)
