Welcome to the ELRepo Project

"For the community, by the community."

Note: There is a known issue concerning the update of ELRepo kmod packages on RHEL-5.5 / CentOS-5.5 / SL-5.5. Please see the Update page for details.

Welcome to ELRepo, an RPM repository for Enterprise Linux packages. ELRepo supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its derivatives (CentOS, Scientific Linux & 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.

Get started

To install ELRepo for RHEL-5, CentOS-5 or SL-5:


Import the public key:

Repository contents

ELRepo contains 2 channels. You can browse the contents of either channel by clicking on its name.

elrepo

This is 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'.

For example, to install kmod-r8168 (Realtek r8168 NIC driver):

yum --enablerepo=elrepo 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-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'.
