sure .. you can manually add the one repo required to manually do the
swap command ..
Or maybe just install this package and then remove the other one:
you want:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-stream-repos-8-2.el8.noarch.rpm
installed first
Then remove centos-repos
Or you could manually create a CentOS-Stream-BaseOS.repo (you could even
name it test.repo and remove it later once switched) this will work:
[baseos]
name=CentOS Stream $releasever - BaseOS
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$stream&arch=$basearch&repo=BaseOS&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/$contentdir/$stream/BaseOS/$basearch/os/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-centosofficial
in /etc/yum.repos.d/<somename>.repo
then once the distro-sync command works, remove <somaname.repo>
