Welcome to ELRepo, an RPM repository for Enterprise Linux packages. ELRepo supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its derivatives (Scientific Linux, CentOS & others).
The ELRepo Project focuses on hardware related packages to enhance your experience with Enterprise Linux. This includes filesystem drivers, graphics drivers, network drivers, sound drivers, webcam and video drivers.

The Repository Contents
ELRepo contains four channels.
elrepo This is the main channel and is enabled by default. As this channel should not contain packages also present in the distribution, it should be safe to run a 'yum update' with this repository channel enabled.
For example, to install kmod-r8168 (Realtek r8168 NIC driver):
yum install kmod-r8168
Depending on the package being installed or the repository setup, it might be necessary to disable non-elrepo repositories:
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-nvidia
elrepo-extras The elrepo-extras channel provides packages and their dependencies that replace/update RHEL distribution packages. It may be enabled in the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo file or used with 'yum --enablerepo=elrepo-extras'.
elrepo-testing The elrepo-testing channel provides packages yet to be released to the main channel and is disabled by default. It may be enabled in the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo file or used with 'yum --enablerepo=elrepo-testing'.
elrepo-kernel The elrepo-kernel channel provides both the long-term support kernels (which have been configured for RHEL-7 and RHEL-6) and the latest stable mainline kernels (which have been configured for RHEL-8 and RHEL-7) using sources available from the Linux Kernel Archives. This channel may be enabled in the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo file or used with 'yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel'.
