CentOS 6, 7 & 8 Repository

Everyone knows that CentOS only takes care of some specific core packages. All others, if you want to continue using RPM's, must be used from alternative Repositories. There are many alternatives:

• EPEL: you will find here many useful packages. Packages get updates for critical bugs.
• Remi: you will find here backports for the most useful packages. 
• OKay: you will find here some specific packages for servers, audio, and video.

I especially do contributions to the OKay repository. So, if you want to use OKay follow these steps:

• Install the EPEL repository, you may try typing yum install epel-release. I think at least Centos 7 and 8 have it out of the box.
• Install the okay-release RPM. Type:
  • Centos 6 on 32 bits: rpm -ivh http://repo.okay.com.mx/centos/6/i386/release/okay-release-1-3.el6.noarch.rpm​?
  • Centos 6 on 64 bits: rpm -ivh http://repo.okay.com.mx/centos/6/x86_64/release/okay-release-1-3.el6.noarch.rpm?
  • Centos 7 on 64 bits: rpm -ivh http://repo.okay.com.mx/centos/7/x86_64/release/okay-release-1-3.el7.noarch.rpm?
  • Centos 8 on 64 bits: rpm -ivh http://repo.okay.com.mx/centos/8/x86_64/release/okay-release-1-3.el8.noarch.rpm?

I will post later as I publish some updates or packages.

Soon I will stop updating the CentOS 6 repository.
