How to Update Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 using CentOS Repos

I don't have a subscription for RHEL anymore and I want to update my server. Can anyone tell me How to Update Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 using CentOS Repos ?

  • IIRC, you just install the approprate centos-release package, and then run yum upgrade (or yum update if you don't want to obsolete anything).

    From tylerl
  • Ok i figured out. I created a file CentOs.repo (/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOs.repo) with the following contents :

    [CentOS-Base]
    name=CentOS-Base
    mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=$basearch&repo=os
    gpgcheck=1
    enabled=1
    gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
    
    [CentOS-Updates]
    name=CentOS-Updates
    mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=$basearch&repo=updates
    gpgcheck=1
    enabled=1
    gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
    
    [CentOS-Plus]
    name=CentOS-Plus
    mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus
    gpgcheck=1
    enabled=1
    gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
