[elrepo] Oops, updated to el7_7 on CentOS 7.6, can I revert to el7_6?

[Seth Goldin]

I figured this out.

What worked was calling the URL on the ELRepo site directly:

yum downgrade elrepo-release-7.0-4.el7.elrepo
http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-3.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm

I need to install something via elrepo-release-7.0-3 *now,* so I couldn't
just to wait for CentOS 7.7 for elrepo-release-7.0-4 to work.

Going forward, I'll be sure to not update to 7.0-4 until I'm on CentOS 7.7.

Thanks,
-- Seth.
