You can copy/paste the script below to a text editor and save it as change-repos.sh. Then chmod the file to make it executable (chmod 755 change-repos.sh). Then run the script as root. This will create a folder under root called repo.bak where the original repo files are backed up (in case you need them later, or the script somehow goes nuts - I tested it and it worked fine here). The remaining commands are simple sed commands run against the backup files to edit the pertinent entries and piping the output to the yum repo directory (overwriting the existing ones). Note that the individual sed commands may appear to be on a separate line depending on the display width of your mail reader simply because the argument that follows is long. In fact the sed command and its arguments are of course all on one line (but of course each sed command on a separate line). Having said all that I still can't seem to get yum to work with the new repos.
