Rocks 5.4 is a recompile of CentOS 5 oriented towards compute clusters.
Rocks 5.4 is not a recompile of CentOS 5, it uses CentOS as its base distribution, and add configuration, database, tools, MPI, batch job scheduler etc..., for HPC calculation.
As a yum update may break the configuration, /etc/yum.repos.d/ is empty by default.
I use myself Rocks, an I populate /etc/yum/repos.d/ by copying what I have on other CentOS workstations, but avoid to do any update.
With Rocks, you do update by upgrading to the newest version (which would be Rocks 5.5, based on CentOS 5.6...).

Hi hersh,
See my detailed answer on this subject on Rocks mailing list (October 26) : https://lists.sdsc.edu/pipermail/npaci-rocks-discussion/2010-October/049657....
I did nothing in yum.conf. I am using Rocks 5.3 at this moment : # cat yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 assumeyes=1
[Rocks-5.3] name=Rocks 5.3 baseurl=http://10.1.1.1/install/rocks-dist/x86_64
