Private repo, package rocky-repos

[blouphil]

Hello,

Our nodes do not have access to external repositories, we can only connect to our private repo.

Before starting the migration script, I make sure to use stock repo config files, the only thing that is changed is the baseurl= URL, #mirrorlist= stays commented out

However, package rocky-repos-8.4-32.el8.noarch is installed during the migration process, and this reverts the repo configs to mirrorlist=https://mirrors.rockylinux.org/[...]

[...]
Installed:
  rocky-gpg-keys-8.4-32.el8.noarch        rocky-release-8.4-32.el8.noarch
  rocky-repos-8.4-32.el8.noarch
Removed:
  centos-gpg-keys-1:8-2.el8.noarch   centos-linux-release-8.4-1.2105.el8.noarch
  centos-linux-repos-8-2.el8.noarch

An error occurred while we were attempting to convert your system to Rocky Linux. Your system may be unstable. Script will now exit to prevent possible damage.

 A log of this installation can be found at /var/log/migrate2rocky.log

Maybe skipping installing the rocky-repos package would fix this? Or any other ideas?

Thanks

We're looking at an option to specify an alternate (private/local) repository.

Hi @blouphil, take a look at #92 . It is not perfect, but it works for me.
