We got around this by pushing out a custom /etc/yum.conf (via Ansible) which
sets the following:
reposdir=/etc/yum.repos.d/custom
This way if we need an external repo (which 99.9% of the time we never do) we
add the needed .repo to that directory. This way centos-release can update all
it wants under /etc/yum.repos.d/ and it will never impact anything on my
systems because yum will never use any .repo from that directory.
This was the easiest solution for us.

There are a few options :
- You can prevent this by not syncing the centos-release RPM from the CentOS
repository but managing exceptions for many repositories is a lot of work, some
packages such as Chrome also insist on installing their own .repo file even
- We run a job every night which simply removes all .repo files from
/etc/yum.repos.d/ as I want all my managed machines to only get RPM's from
Spacewalk
While the second option isn't the most elegant it does work reliable.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Remote .repo files re-creation
Hi,
we found that when we update our Centos systems to a minor version release (ex:
6.6) the .repo files are recreated, so systems seek updates on remote
repositories and not on spacewalk repository.
It is possible to configure systems to prevent the re-creation of .repo files?
We have the same problem for updates from unofficial repositories, such as Remi.
Systems: Centos 5.X, 6.x
Spacewalk server: Centos 6.6 / Spacewalk 2.3
thanks a lot
Domenico Malorni
