yum : show all yum directives
Posted by danielJan 4
yum – dump all yum repos configuration directives
Per the man page, the yum-config-manager is “a program that can manage main yum configuration options, toggle which repositories are enabled or disabled, and add new repositories.” The details on how to use the command is in the Official Redhat documentation.
One feature that the man page does not list is how you can use the yum-config-manager to display the yum repo configuration sections/directives and options. Not only can you use it to just show the configuration in your system, but it can also help you with displaying all the options supported by yum configuration. It might be useful for scripting as well.
Installation – identify the package name:
yum whatprovides */yum-config-manager
Install package –
yum install yum-utils
Once the package is installed, the command yum-config-manager should be available –
[root@kauai /tmp]# which yum-config-manager /usr/bin/yum-config-manager
Running yum-config-manager will dump a list of all repositories in the server, and for each repository it will list all directives, including the hidden ones.
Below is just a the truncated version of the output, the output is much more longer depending on the number of yum repositories in your system –
