linux之yum--YUM Remove Repo (Repository) – YUM Disable Repo (Repository)

原文地址：http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/yum-remove-repo-repository-yum-disable-repo-repository/

Quick guide, howto remove and disable YUM repo (repository). Yum command itself does not contain any way to remove the repository. YUM repo files is located in /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

I use kde.repo file with following content as example on this guide:

[kde] name=kde mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-stable gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-redhat.RPM-GPG-KEY enabled=1

Remove YUM Repo (Repository) Permanently

Before moving repository permanently is a good idea to check that is the repository installed using rpm package. As many repos usually are, like RPM-Fusion, Livna, etc.

Search Repository RPM-package with following command:

rpm -qa |grep -i repo-name

Example:

rpm -qa |grep -i rpmfusion rpmfusion-nonfree-release-13-2.noarch rpmfusion-free-release-13-2.noarch   ## OR ##   rpm -qa |grep -i livna livna-release-1-1.noarch

If RPM-package found then simply remove whole RPM-package with following command:

rpm -e some-repository-rpm-package

Example:

rpm -e livna-release-1-1.noarch

If RPM-package not found then simply remove repo file with following command:

rm /etc/yum.repos.d/repo-file.repo   ## OR just rename it (without repo file extension) ## mv /etc/yum.repos.d/repo-file.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/repo-file.repo.bak

Example:

rm /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo   ## OR just rename it (without repo file extension) ## mv /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo.bak

Disable YUM Repo (Repository)

Disable YUM Repo

Edit repo file on /etc/yum.repos.d/ as root and change enabled to 0

## Change enabled=1   ## To enabled=0

Example:

# Change [kde] name=kde mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-stable gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-redhat.RPM-GPG-KEY enabled=1   # To [kde] name=kde mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-stable gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-redhat.RPM-GPG-KEY enabled=0

Enable disabled repo quickly with YUM:

yum --enablerepo=some-disabled-repository install some-package

Disable YUM Repo (Repository) using YUM

yum --disablerepo=some-repository install some-package

Example:

yum --disablerepo=kde install some-package
