Adding CentOS 5 Extras Repository to a RHEL5 Yum Config

Add the following to a file called “/etc/yum.repos.d/centos-extras.repo” :

[extras]
name=CentOS-$releasever – Extras
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5.3&arch=$basearch&repo=extras
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/extras/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

Now you can run yum install packagename
