| Summary | 0017486: Commented instructions in CentOS-Media.repo are incorrect for CentOS 8 | ||||
| Description | The comments in CentOS-Media.repo for CentOS 8 appear to contain instructions that are specific to CentOS 7 and earlier and need to be updated to be correct for CentOS 8. They instruct the user to use the yum command instead of dnf and more importantly the c8-media repo that is mentioned does not exist in CentOS 8 but rather has been replaced with c8-media-BaseOS and c8-media-AppStream. Following are the comments currently contained in the file: # CentOS-Media.repo # # This repo can be used with mounted DVD media, verify the mount point for # CentOS-8. You can use this repo and yum to install items directly off the # DVD ISO that we release. # # To use this repo, put in your DVD and use it with the other repos too: # yum --enablerepo=c8-media [command] # # or for ONLY the media repo, do this: # # yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c8-media [command] These should be updated to the following, or something similar: # CentOS-Media.repo # # This repo can be used with mounted DVD media, verify the mount point for # CentOS-8. You can use this repo and yum to install items directly off the # DVD ISO that we release. # # To use this repo, put in your DVD and use it with the other repos too: # dnf --enablerepo=c8-media-\* [command] # # or for ONLY the media repo, do this: # # dnf --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c8-media-\* [command] | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo | ||||
| Additional Information | The category for this bug should likely be "centos-repos" but since no such category is available in the selection drop-down I picked "centos-release" instead. The version is applicable to 8.2.2004 but that was not yet available in the selection drop down so I picked the closest 8.1.1911. | ||||
