We are now using this repo as a method for releasing community based fixes for packages that will replace actual upstream content. This was deprecated upstream for the 6.9 and 7.3 release cycles upstream article. Popular packages from this repository include: the CentOS-Plus kernel (a rebuilt kernel with patches and additional drivers/features), postfix with postgresql support (the distro version only enables mysql).ĬentOS-Fasttrack - FastTrack was an upstream program to release some updates on a cycle that was different from the normal point release cycle. This repository is shipped with CentOS but is not enabled by default. They have not been tested by the upstream provider and are not available in the upstream products. The CentOS development team have tested every item in this repository and they all work with CentOS. This repo will change CentOS so that it is not exactly like the upstream provider's content. This repository is shipped with CentOS and is enabled by default.ĬentOSPlus - Packages that actually replace certain base CentOS components, to provide additional functionality. In CentOS 7 and 8 this is an upstream repository, as well as additional CentOS packages. After any edits of these files, in order to clear any cached information, and to make sure the changes are immediately recognized, as root run:ĬentOS Extras - In CentOS 5 and 6, packages that provide additional functionality to CentOS without breaking upstream compatibility or updating base components, but are not tested by upstream or available in the upstream product. This allows the administrator to more clearly specify whether a repository is or is not used for packages. A line containing one of these options is recommended for each repository in each. Please read man 5 yum.conf, particularly the discussion of enabled=0 versus enabled=1.
These repositories have varying levels of stability, support and cooperation within the CentOS community.Ībout 'enabled' and 'disabled' repository configuration files While no list can be 100% complete, as anyone may announce an archive, it represents some major efforts and provides a summary of what each repository offers. There are several repositories provided by CentOS and other 3rd party developers that offer software packages that are not included in the default base and updates repositories.
