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

[Gerald Vogt]

The centos-release rpm contains all the repo files. If they are missing 
they are restored during the next install/update. That is standard rpm 
behavior for config files in rpms.

Don't (re)move the CentOS repo files. If you don't want to use those 
repos, modify the files and set all repositories in the files to 
"enabled=0".

Config files are not overwritten if they exist. That's the case for any 
config file from any rpm.

For example, if you have installed the apache webserver with the httpd 
rpm you cannot remove the welcome page by deleting 
/etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf. It would come back during the next update.
