Disabling gpgcheck with tmprepo plugin

grill_gus

I want to install an rpm from a repo just once and not have to add it to my yum.repos.d/ directory using the tmprepo plugin. However, I’m blocked on how to install an rpm with no gpg signature. The ‘—nogpgcheck’ option doesn’t work with the tmprepo plugin and I need to manually append ‘pkgs_gpgcheck=false’ to /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/tmprepo.conf. sudo yum --tmprepo=http://edge.artifactory.example.com:8000/artifactory/chef_rpms/rhel/chef_rpms.repo...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

So when using tmprepo for a one-time yum install, can't disable gpg-check unless editing the file. I think that should be a feature on command line too though. For now, I'm doing a: yum-config-manager --add-repo $http://myurl/myrepo.repo; yum-config-manager --enable myrepo yum install package yum-config-manager --disable myrepo I keep the repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/myrepo.repo but disable the actual repositories.
