Very handy, it enables one or more repositories only for the current execution of the command, without enabling the repo system-wide.

You simply need to learn yum's -enablerepo switch. To avoid this, EPEL repositories are already added at system installation on XCP-ng, but they are disabled.īut then, how to install from such additional repositories? Installing epel-release (the common way to enable it on CentOS) will automatically enable it. Warning: some third party repositories are auto-enabled when installed. If you enable more repositories, updates may get pulled from there and overwrite XCP-ng packages and thus break your system. The update process for XCP-ng assumes that only XCP-ng repositories are enabled. No support is provided for other additional packages, even if installed from our repositories, as they contain build dependencies not supposed to be installed in production. Best effort support is provided for additional packages provided by the XCP-ng project ( supported list for XCP-ng 8.2 (opens new window)).
