Back up old configurations:
List all currently configured repositories and move CentOS and epel configurations afterwards:
[root@server ~]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-CR.repo CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-fasttrack.repo CentOS-Media.repo CentOS-Sources.repo CentOS-Vault.repo CentOS-x86_64-kernel.repo epel.repo epel-testing.repo [root@server ~]# mkdir /etc/yum.repos.d/old [root@server ~]# mv /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS*.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/old/ [root@server ~]# mv /etc/yum.repos.d/epel*.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/old/
Create new repository configurations:
[root@server ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS.repo [base] name=CentOS-7.9.2009 - Base baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/7.9.2009/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 enabled=1 metadata_expire=never #released updates [updates] name=CentOS-7.9.2009 - Updates baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/7.9.2009/updates/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 enabled=1 metadata_expire=never # additional packages that may be useful [extras] name=CentOS-7.9.2009 - Extras baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/7.9.2009/extras/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 enabled=1 metadata_expire=never # additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-7.9.2009 - CentOSPlus baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/7.9.2009/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 enabled=0 metadata_expire=never #fasttrack - packages by Centos Users [fasttrack] name=CentOS-7.9.2009 - Contrib baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/7.9.2009/fasttrack/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 enabled=0 metadata_expire=never
Add EPEL repository configuration
This step is optional and only needed if EPEL has been used before:
[root@server ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo [epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch baseurl=https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7 metadata_expire=never [epel-debuginfo] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch - Debug baseurl=https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/$basearch/debug enabled=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7 gpgcheck=1 metadata_expire=never [epel-source] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch - Source baseurl=https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/SRPMS enabled=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7 gpgcheck=1 metadata_expire=never
Load new packet sources
Remove all currently available metadata:
yum clean all
Load a new list of all available packages and to check if your local installation has all available updates.
yum check-update
