how to tell yum not to update repo

megerdin · 11-25-2009, 01:47 AM

when I tried to install any-package via yum. Its always try to update all repo, its very boring & waste of time.I want to do this manually when i have time, not automatically.

Is there any way to tell yum not to update repo before installing any repo.

I saw this post, but its not helpful for me.

use

Code:

yum -C

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t, --tolerant be tolerant of errors
-C run entirely from cache, don't update cache

That means the stated package is not in your cache...you have to install without the -C option.

and also change keepcache from 0 to 1.
Not normally a good idea, but that is what you are after right??
