FWIW, that probably didn't do what you thought.
On my machine I have EPEL configured, but disabled.
Yeah. As you saw, I only want to enable it for kmod-nvidia, since I don't want to get anything else from there, resulting in conflicts with the usual repos. <snip>
So you might need to do "yum --enablerepo=elrepo clean all" to flush your cache.
Ok. Just did that, and see Cleaning repos: adobe-linux-i386 base cr dcb-CentOS-base dcb-CentOS-updates : dcb-rome elrepo epel extras rpmfusion-free-updates : rpmfusion-free-updates-testing rpmfusion-nonfree-updates : rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing updates
Then I do yum --enablerepo=elrepo list *nvidia* <...> * elrepo: mirror.symnds.com <...> elrepo | 1.9 kB 00:00 elrepo/primary_db | 420 kB 00:00 <...> And all I get is: Available Packages nvidia-x11-drv.x86_64 295.59-1.el6.elrepo elrepo
So I'm still where I was: I cannot figure out why I see nvidia-x11-drv, and not the kmod itself.
Oh, well, I was just showing my manager the problem, and his reaction is to ask whether it's worth wading through filelists.xml; he prefers I just d/l the package(s) to our local repo, which is what I guess I'll have to do, then write an automated script to rsync it every so often, maybe a cron job....
Thanks anyway.
