公司提供的CentOS VM中，/etc/yum.repos.d 下 只有一個build.repo，其中提供的yum 源只有公司內(nèi)部的幾個源，很多包在這些源中都找不到。于是要添加別的源，下面的帖子中介紹了如何在CentOS中添加中科大、搜狐和163的yum源：。

本文章介紹的yum源支持的版本是CentOS 6系列，理論上支持RHEL6系列。
更新方法如下：

先進入yum源配置目錄

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

備份系統(tǒng)自帶的yum源

mv CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Base.repo.save

下載其他更快的yum源

中科大的yum源：
wget http://centos.ustc.edu.cn/CentOS-Base.repo

163的yum源：
wget http://mirrors.163.com/.help/CentOS-Base-163.repo

sohu的yum源
wget http://mirrors.sohu.com/help/CentOS-Base-sohu.repo

更新完yum源后，建議更新一下，使操作立即生效

yum makecache

在執(zhí)行最后一步，即yum makecache的時候，遇到錯誤：

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: addons. Please verify its path and try again
原因是，http://mirrors.163.com/centos/6/addons/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml和 http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/addons/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml 確實不存在，可能被更新掉了。解決辦法是，找到可用的URL替換之，或者把相應的.repo文件中的項整個注釋掉。這里我采用后者。

例如，在CentOS-Base-163.repo中，注釋掉整個addon項
#[addons]
#name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons - 163.com
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releaseverarch=$basearchrepo=addons
#baseurl=http://mirrors.163.com/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/
#gpgcheck=1
#pgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

在CentOS-Base-sohu.repo中注釋掉下面的內(nèi)容
#[addons]
#name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons - sohu.com
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releaseverarch=$basearchrepo=addons
#baseurl=http://mirrors.sohu.com/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/
#gpgcheck=1
#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5CentOS-Base-sohu.repo

然后，再執(zhí)行yum makecache。之后，yum就可以找到我要安裝的包了，比如gdb, subversion, gcc-c++ 等。

注意：

有時用yum list xxx找不到某個包，可用嘗試用yum search xxx。
如，yum list vim 就報告 Error: No matching Packages to list。而 yum search vim 則返回：
