How to do OP5 minor updates from 8.x to a higher version (example 8.4.4) running under CentOS

We are all aware that CentOS Linux has reached its End-of-Life (EOL). However, there are handful of customers still using OP5 version 8.x. and might be running under CentOS.

The following steps can be performed in order to enable Centos-Vault.repo repositories.

Update repo files (remove old and problematic ones).

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
sudo mkdir _old
sudo mv CentOS-* _old/
touch Centos-Vault.repo

Edit Centos-Vault.repo and place the following configuration.

[Vault-base]
name=Vault - CentOS-$releasever - Base
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-$releasever

[Vault-updates]
name=Vault - CentOS-$releasever - Updates
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-$releasever

[Vault-extras]
name=Vault - CentOS-$releasever - Extras
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-$releasever

Run.

sudo yum clean all
sudo yum makecache

Verify yum is using the vault repositories.

sudo yum repolist
