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

[David Dales]

Nope, that's exactly what the centos-release package does. It's only purpose is to install the repo file and update the /etc/centos-release which is linked to /etc/redhat-release

Only thing you can do is exclude it from patching or remove it from the repository altogether

Hello,
I have a Spacewalk 2.9 server and a CentOS 7 client using the Spacewalk 2.9 client.  After registering the client with rhnreg_ks, I moved all of the files from /etc/yum.repos.d to /etc/yum.repos.d.o.  The "yum repolist" command shows that I'm using the repositories from my spacewalk server. I've noticed that when I update the client (specifically the centos-release package), the Centos-* repository files reappear in /etc/yum.repos.d.  Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Thanks,
Nicole
