Red Hat repositories description

Latest response

Hello,

I was wondering if there were a description of the repositories provided by RedHat. Or even how a package get associated into a specific repository.

For example to find out the difference between rhel-7-server-optional-rpms, rhel-7-server-supplementary-rpms and rhel-7-server-extras-rpms.

I never know in which repo I could find what I am looking for.

Hello,

the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 System Administrator's Guide has an explanation here Adding the Optional and Supplementary Repositories. That in turn links to Scope of Coverage Details.

if your system is subscribed to all the repos you could use yum provides "*/file_name". Otherwise, take a look in the customer portal here Red Hat Packages.

Hi,

Thanks!

It was mainly for a documentation for a customer, that's helped a lot.

I am just a bit surprised that optional and supplementary are not covered by support!
