[Spacewalk-list] CentOS repos reappear in /etc/yum.repos.d

[William H. ten Bensel]

The work around that  we found quite helpful is to update /etc/yum.conf, 
to point to a different repository directory path.   That way if another 
repository is added through CentOS or through any other rpm, we do not 
have to retrofit or update the kickstart.

We do this with the following kickstart post-script:

mkdir -p /path
grep -qF -- "reposdir=/path" /etc/yum.conf || echo "reposdir=/path" >> 
/etc/yum.conf

Thanks and good luck

Hello,

We do this with the following kickstart post-script:

echo -e "\n############# Removing default CentOS repositories ########\n"
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable base updates extras centosplus
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable cr
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable base-debuginfo
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable fasttrack
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable c7-media
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable base-source updates-source 
extras-source centosplus-source
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable C7.0.1406-\*

Which sets all repos to enable=0

After that we do a yum -y update

To test that its persistent I did a quick "yum reinstall 
centos-release.x86_64"  and the enabled=0 is kept and original repos 
didn't showed up

I hope that helps.

BR

Michael

Quick-n-dirty kickstart postinstall command we run:
# Disabling CentOS Internet Repos
egrep '^\[.*\]' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*.repo | awk -F: '{print $2}'
| sed -e 's/\[//g' -e 's/\]//g' | xargs yum-config-manager --disable
