I would like to subscribe to the following Oracle yum repository so I can install virtual box guest additions packages.



https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/developer/x86_64/index.html



Where can I find the .repo file URL in order for me to add this to my Oracle Linux subscription list?



Edit: I am already subscribed to the Oracle public yum repo



[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: langpacks, ulninfo
repo id repo name status
ol6_UEK_latest/x86_64 Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Oracle Lin 820
ol6_latest/x86_64 Oracle Linux 7Server Latest (x86_64) 11,323
ol7_UEKR5/x86_64 Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 for 108
ol7_latest/x86_64 Oracle Linux 7Server Latest (x86_64) 11,688
repolist: 23,939


[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum search vbox
Loaded plugins: langpacks, ulninfo
============================== N/S matched: vbox ===============================
isdn4k-utils-vboxgetty.x86_64 : ISDN voice box (getty)

Name and summary matches only, use "search all" for everything.

          On the same web server there is a page which describe very well the process.




          To configure CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Scientific Linux with
          Oracle Linux yum server:



          To convert your system to Oracle Linux, see these instructions for switching from CentOS. To install individual packages from Oracle
          Linux yum server, begin by importing the Oracle Linux GPG key based on
          these instructions. Then, download and copy the appropriate yum
          configuration file in place, by running the following commands as
          root:



          Oracle Linux 7

          # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
          # wget https://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo
          Oracle Linux 7 for ARM (aarch64)

          # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
          # wget https://yum.oracle.com/aarch64/public-yum-ol7.repo
          Oracle Linux 6

          # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
          # wget https://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
          Oracle Linux 5

          # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
          # wget https://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo
          Oracle Linux 4, Update 6 or Newer
          # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
          # mv Oracle-Base.repo Oracle-Base.repo.disabled
          # wget https://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el4.repo


          By default, the latest repository is enabled. If you want to change the default, you can enable an alternative repository by
          editing the yum configuration file.
          Open the yum configuration file in a text editor
          Locate the section in the file for the repository want to enable, e.g. [public_ol6_addons]
          Change enabled=0 to enabled=1

            I am already subscribed to the oracle public repo, but this is not the repo that I am looking to subscribe to. I am looking to subscribe to the ol7 developer repo. Anyway, I fixed the problem by manually adding the entry into the yum.conf file.

              I am already subscribed to the oracle public repo, but this is not the repo that I am looking to subscribe to. I am looking to subscribe to the ol7 developer repo. Anyway, I fixed the problem by manually adding the entry into the yum.conf file.
