Old repositories for end of line linux distribution

Raw

centos_old_packages.md

Progressivly all old centos packages are not accessible anymore from regular repositories for old Centos version (6, 7, 8..) . They are all stored in https://vault.centos.org/. i.e Centos 7 old packages have been moved on first July 2024.
To update centos yum configuration, use

sed -i s/mirror.centos.org/vault.centos.org/g /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo
sed -i s/^#.*baseurl=http/baseurl=http/g /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo
sed -i s/^mirrorlist=http/#mirrorlist=http/g /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo

sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
