Failed to download metadata for repo 'rpmforge'

[lamps]

Hello CentOS 8 people,

This inquiry is being reposted with a Subject added.
Recently, I have installed CentOS 8 on my desktop.
When making an attempt to update via yum,
I ran into the following error message.
How should I resolve this issue?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> sudo yum -y update
RHEL 8 - RPMforge.net - dag
Failed to download metadata for repo 'rpmforge'
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'rpmforge'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your helpful input will be much appreciated.

Your mistake is to attempt to use rpmforge. That is a yum repo that died over 5 yers ago and has had no updates since. There is no rpmforge for RHEL/CentOS 8. The correct solution to your problem therefore is yum --disablerepo=\* remove rpmforge-release

Thank you for posting. This is the first time I am using the CentOS after installation. While awaiting responses from people, I myself cleared the issue by removing the annoying rpmforge repo.
