Name - A human readable name for the repository e.g. Repository ID - A one word unique repository ID e.g.
While there are a number of optional elements, each. Repository configuration files tell yum information about the actual repository (where package files are physically located). It is a standard place to look for consistency. If I am not mistaken, actual repositories can be potentially anywhere (taking into account connectivity and permissions).Ĭommands such as "yum install packagename" generally check for existing yum repository configuration files in. I am guessing you mean a repository configuration file (e.g. I heard that we have to create a repository inside directory. As such, it is often considered desirable to sort out things that are more likely to need to be changed (such as repository data) from information that is less likely to need to be changed (how yum works by default). Many programs use text-based configuration files (which can be extremely large and hard to read or are intended to provide only a basic set of data to operate). This kind of separation of configuration information is common in Linux. This information can potentially override whatever is in yum.conf. In short, contains "extra" repository information and only that. The values you define in individual sections of the /etc/yum.conf file override values set in the section. It is recommended to define individual repositories in new or existing. So yum.conf is a basic set of instructions used by yum to run, which includes some repository information because it is literally required to use yum. This file contains one mandatory section, which allows you to set Yum options that have global effect, and can also contain one or more sections, which allow you to set repository-specific options. The configuration file for yum and related utilities is located at /etc/yum.conf.
