#### Fixing Elrepo mirror issues 

# how it starts 

```bash
sudo yum install elrepo-release epel-release

But from there the repo becomes unusable

to fix that

sudo dnf clean all dnf makecache --refresh

To fix the mirror issue edit /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo/elrepo.repo, comment out mirrorlist=http://mirrors.elrepo.org/mirrors-elrepo.el8

save and dnf makecache --refresh
