This avoids updating/creating the repositories when the CentOS release rpm is updated with the next kernel release. Oracle and Redhat do not include the repository information in the primary release rpm, but provide optional rpms or methods to install the repositories. By separating the functionality of the rpm, this avoids these issues. I wish CentOS would follow the same process as well. <a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2018-February/msg00033.html">https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2018-February/msg00033.html</a> # rpm -ql centos-release-7-5.1804.5.el7.centos.x86_64 |grep repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-CR.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Debuginfo.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Sources.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-fasttrack.repo # rpm -ql oraclelinux-release-7.5-1.0.5.el7.x86_64 |grep repo # - Thanks and good luck From: "<a href="mailto:P.Cookson@bham.ac.uk">P.Cookson@bham.ac.uk</a>" <<a href="mailto:P.Cookson@bham.ac.uk">P.Cookson@bham.ac.uk</a>> To: "<a href="mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com">spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a>" <<a href="mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com">spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a>> Date: 02/22/2019 07:39 AM Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Disable downloading stock repos in CentOS Sent by: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a><o:p></o:p> <div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"> <hr size="3" width="100%" noshade="" style="color:#A0A0A0" align="center"> </div> This email originated from outside of the company.

Move existing related repo files to a different location (like you’ve described). mkdir /root/Original_Repos mv /etc/yum.repos.d/* /root/Original_Repos/ yum clean all and/orrm -rf /var/cache/yum 2. Temporarily disable during update. yum --disablerepo=<Repo Name> update 3. Permanently disable. Change the value of “enabled=” from 1 to 0 in /etc/yum.repos.d/<Repo Name> Regards Phil From: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a> <<a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a>> On Behalf Of <a href="mailto:pdeveau@uottawa.ca">pdeveau@uottawa.ca</a> Sent: 22 February 2019 12:52 To: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com">spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Disable downloading stock repos in CentOS Hello, I would like to disable the downloading of the stock repos like Centos-Base.repo and the rest They get in the way when I perform upgrades (unless I'm doing something wrong?) I usually move the repos to a different directory so that yum does not see them.
