In order to disable YUM package repository on CentOS we first need to get a unique repository ID using the following yum
command:
# yum repolist Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.optus.net * epel: epel.mirror.digitalpacific.com.au * extras: mirror.ventraip.net.au * updates: mirror.optus.net repo id repo name status base/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Base 8,652 epel/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - x86_64 8,935 extras/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Extras 285 google-chrome google-chrome 3 isv_ownCloud_desktop The ownCloud Desktop Client (CentOS_7) 63 updates/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Updates 1,726 virtualbox/7/x86_64 Oracle Linux / RHEL / CentOS-7 / x86_64 - VirtualBox 13
Now choose the repo ID you wish to disable and execute yum-config-manager --disable
command with a relevant repo ID as its argument. For example the below command will disable google-chrome
repository:
# yum-config-manager --disable google-chrome
Now run yum repolist
command to confirm that the repository was disabled correctly.
