You could try to grep the source code if you have some idea of the function name you are looking for.

Legacy applications support for example.I have plenty of SME customers who use software that are not really designed for a modern networked environment and still relies on some old style hardware-dependent licensing scheme. So if the workstations desktops these are on dies, and the vendor gone out of business, they are screwed. Virtualization eliminates this worry. Then there is the security issue. You can fully isolate a user's Windows desktop and allow administrative access and not worry the user will find a way to re-enable USB ports. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You can do yum install --disablerepo http://192.168.1.14//package.rpm But I agree with Steven, that the best way is to fix your repos in the post section.

Re: [CentOS] local repo
Marian, He wanted to disable default repos and enable his private mirror instead. Your solution would actually not help him. He wants to make his personal repo the primary repo for fresh installs, which can only be done in %post since centos-release is going to overwrite it. Using --disablerepo on a non-existent repo (the problem being expressed) wouldn't work in this case. Of course another option is to download the centos-release srpm, and change the repos built in, or remove the repos entirely and make it rely on your-repos.rpm or similar. That's probably a little over the top for what you're looking for though.
