Rhel5u8 Configuring the CentOS Yum Source

Since the Yum online update for Rhel is chargeable, it cannot be used if not registered, that is, the software cannot be installed online. In this case, if the machine we are using is a rhel system, it will be cumbersome to mount the local CD-ROM each time the software is installed, and some of the software is old, in which case we can use the CentOS yum source to meet our needs.

First, delete the original Rhel yum

Rpm-aq|grep Yum|xargs rpm-e--nodeps

Ii. Download the Yum installation package for CentOS (163 source)

wget Http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-3.2.22-40.el5.centos.noarch.rpmwget/HTTP Mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/centos/yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-21.el5.centos.noarch.rpmwget/HTTP mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/centos/yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-4.el5.x86_64.rpm wget http://mirrors.163.com /centos/5/os/x86_64/rpm-gpg-key-centos-5

Installation of the Yum installation package for CentOS
Yum and yum-plugin-fastestmirror need to be installed together, the two packages exist dependencies, the separate installation will fail, before installing the Rpm-gpg-key into the system, otherwise there will be a warning message

RPM-IVH yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-4.el5.x86_64.rpm rpm--import RPM-GPG-KEY-CENTOS-5RPM–IVH yum-3.2.22-40.el5.centos.noarch.rpm yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-21.el5.centos.noarch.rm

So we can use Yum online.

Iv. Modifying the Yum source
To use Yum to install the software online faster, we can use the domestic netease yum source or other domestic yum source

V. Change the Yum source #我们使用网易的CentOS镜像源

Cd /etc/yum.repos.d/vi rhel-debuginfo.repo# centos-base.repo## the mirror system  uses the connecting IP address of the client and the#  update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are  updated to and# geographically close to the client.  you  should use this for centos updates# unless you are manually  Picking other mirrors.## if the mirrorlist= does not work for  you, as a fall back you can try the# remarked out  baseurl= line instead.##[base]name=centos-5 - base - 163.commirrorlist= Http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch= $basearch &repo=osbaseurl=http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/ os/$basearch/gpgcheck=1gpgkey=fIle:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/rpm-gpg-key-centos-5#released updates[updates]name=centos-5 - updates  - 163.commirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch= $basearch &repo= updatesbaseurl=http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/updates/$basearch/gpgcheck=1gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/ rpm-gpg-key-centos-5#packages used/produced in the build but not released[ Addons]name=centos-5 - addons - 163.commirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5 &arch= $basearch &repo=addonsbaseurl=http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/addons/$basearch/gpgcheck=1gpgkey= file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/rpm-gpg-key-centos-5#additional packages that may be useful[ Extras]name=centos-5 - extras - 163.commirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5 &arch= $basearch &repo=extrasbaseurl=http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/extras/$basearch/gpgcheck=1gpgkey= File:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEy-centos-5#additional packages that extend functionality of existing  packages[centosplus]name=centos-5 - plus - 163.commirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/ ? release=5&arch= $basearch &repo=centosplusbaseurl=http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/centosplus/$basearch/ Gpgcheck=1enabled=0gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/rpm-gpg-key-centos-5#contrib - packages by  centos users[contrib]name=centos-5 - contrib - 163.commirrorlist=http:// Mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch= $basearch &repo=contribbaseurl=http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/ contrib/$basearch/gpgcheck=1enabled=0gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/rpm-gpg-key-centos-5
