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

[David Dales]

If I'm not mistaken setting the "enabled=0" won't work. If Spacewalk/Yum discovers multiple repository sources with the same source URL it will fail.

We use puppet to remove the entries under /etc/yum.repos.d/ to avoid this problem

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.
