Welcome to the ELRepo Project

“For the community, by the community”

Welcome to ELRepo, an RPM repository for Enterprise Linux packages. ELRepo supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its rebuild projects.

The ELRepo Project focuses on hardware related packages to enhance your experience with Enterprise Linux. This includes SCSI/SATA/PATA drivers, filesystem drivers, graphics drivers, network drivers, sound drivers and video drivers.

Get started

Import the public key:

Detailed info on the GPG key used by the ELRepo Project can be found on the Key page. If you have a system with Secure Boot enabled, please see the SecureBoot page for more information.

To install ELRepo for RHEL-8:

Repository contents

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

∗ elrepo

The elrepo channel is the main repository 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

Theelrepo-kernel channel provides both the long-term support kernels and the latest stable mainline kernels using sources available from the Linux Kernel Archives. Please see the kernel-lt or kernel-ml pages for further details. This channel may be enabled in the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo file or used with 'yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel'.
