[31] YUM automatically synchronizes the remote meta data to the local client, with other tools opting to synchronize only when requested by the user.
Again, other sources can be added (apart from RHN, which is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Specific). As of Fedora Core 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, up2date is no longer shipped with the distribution; yum is used instead.

CentOS (/ ˈ s ɛ n t ɒ s /, from Community Enterprise Operating System; also known as CentOS Linux) [5] [6] is a discontinued Linux distribution that provided a free and open-source community-supported computing platform, functionally compatible with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Yum extends the functionality of the backend by adding features such as simple configuration for maintaining a network of systems. As another example, the Synaptic Package Manager provides a graphical user interface by using the Advanced Packaging Tool (apt) library, which, in turn, relies on dpkg for core functionality.
Several front-ends to RPM ease the process of obtaining and installing RPMs from repositories and help in resolving their dependencies. These include: yum used in Fedora Linux, CentOS 5 and above, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and above, Scientific Linux, Yellow Dog Linux and Oracle Linux
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.The specific problem is: Active distributions composed entirely of free software (Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre, gNewSense, Guix System, LibreCMC, Musix GNU+Linux, Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, and Trisquel) need information in all sub categories, #General is complete.
Fedora 40 to CentOS Stream 10 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 [26] In addition, the Fedora project publishes a set of packages for RHEL called the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) . EPEL packages can be expected to work in RHEL, but it is up to willing community members to maintain the packages and back port any upstream changes.
RepoForge (formerly RPMforge) is a repository of software packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and derivatives such as CentOS and Scientific Linux.It provides many packages in the rpm package format to these distributions.
