NAME
yum-config-manager - manage yum configuration options and yum
repositories
SYNOPSIS
yum-config-manager [options] [section ...]
DESCRIPTION
yum-config-manager is a program that can manage main yum
configuration options, toggle which repositories are enabled or
disabled, and add new repositories.
Unless --add-repo is used, the program will output the current
configuration of the selected sections, and optionally save it
back to the corresponding files.
By default, if no positional arguments are specified, the program
will select the [main] section and each enabled repository. You
can override this by specifying your own list of sections as
arguments (these may also include disabled repositories). A
section can either be main or a repoid.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Display a help message, and then quit.
--setopt=option=value
Set any config option in yum config or repo files. For
options in the global config just use:
--setopt=option=value for repo options use:
--setopt=repoid.option=value. The latter form accepts
wildcards in repoid that will be expanded to the selected
sections. If repoid contains no wildcard, it will
automatically be selected; this is useful if you are
addressing a disabled repo, in which case you don't have
to additionally pass it as an argument.
--save Save the current options (useful with --setopt).
--enable
Enable the specified repos (automatically saves). To
enable all repositories run "yum-config-manager --enable
\*".
--disable
Disable the specified repos (automatically saves). To
disable all repositories run "yum-config-manager --disable
\*".
--add-repo=ADDREPO
Add (and enable) the repo from the specified file or url.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
Yum-config-manager inherits all other options from yum. See the
yum(8) man page for more information.
EXAMPLES
Show the configuration of [main] and the repos foo and bar:
yum-config-manager main foo bar
Enable the repos foo and bar:
yum-config-manager --enable foo bar
Change a global option:
yum-config-manager --setopt=installonly_limit=5 --save
Change a repo option of the repo foo (works even if foo is
disabled):
yum-config-manager --setopt=foo.skip_if_unavailable=1
--save
Change a repo option of more repos at once:
yum-config-manager --setopt=\*.skip_if_unavailable=1
--save foo bar baz
Change a repo option of all the enabled repos:
yum-config-manager --setopt=\*.skip_if_unavailable=1
--save
Change a repo option of all the configured (that is, enabled and
disabled) repos:
yum-config-manager --setopt=\*.skip_if_unavailable=1
--save \*
