  Here is a list of the repos I have. As I am now running CentOS 8 Stream, should I remove any of the repos below to avoid package versioning issues?

  # ls -al /etc/yum.repos.d/

• The file listing doesn’t show which repositories are enabled or disabled. On my Stream 8 machine, which does light duty as a mail and web server, dnf reports only six active repos:

  [root@omega ~]# dnf repolist repo id repo name appstream CentOS Stream 8 – AppStream baseos CentOS Stream 8 – BaseOS
  epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 – x86_64
  epel-modular Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 – x86_64
  epel-next Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 – Next – x86_64
  extras CentOS Stream 8 – Extras

  I don’t know anything about the remi* repositories, so I can’t speak to them. I suspect the redhat.repo file is nothing but comments, but you’d need to verify its contents.

  Otherwise, your *.repo list looks pretty functional.

• Using the same command shows:
  # dnf repolist

  repo id repo name appstream CentOS Stream 8 – AppStream baseos CentOS Stream 8 – BaseOS
  epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 – x86_64
  epel-modular Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 – x86_64
  extras CentOS Stream 8 – Extras remi-modular Remi’s Modular repository for Enterprise Linux 8 – x86_64
  remi-safe Safe Remi’s RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 8 – x86_64

• I’ll assume you know what you’re doing with the “Remi” repository, since it’s an unknown to me. Otherwise, your repository list looks good to me.

• It appears I installed some PHP related packages from those repos.

• I used remi repository to install PHP-7 on CentOS 7.

  Just my 2 cents.

• I’m thinking I did that as well.

• The vast majority of items built for RHEL-8 or the other downstream RHEL
  source builds (Alma Linux, Rocky Linux, CentOS Linux 8 for the rest of this month, Oracle Enterprise Linux, etc) .. will work also on CentOS
  Stream 8 .. however, not everything will.

  The only things that are BUILT to work on CentOS Stream is EPEL + EPEL
  Next and CentOS Stream and Official SIG Content that lives on mirror.CentOS.org.

  #rd Part sites, (Ie, the remi items in you example) may or may not be built using CentOS Stream. If they are not, then there may be library link issues with those repos.

  EPEL-Next has been created to keep EPEL compatible .. other repos will need to do asddon repos for items in CentOS Stream that are newer than RHEL and newer than downstream RHEL source builds.
