I am trying to migrate the CentOS 8 to Rocky 8,

used below repos

vi CentOS-AppStream.repo

# CentOS-AppStream.repo

# 

# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the

# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and

# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates

# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.

# 

# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the

# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

#

#mirrorlist=[http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=AppStream&infra=$infra](http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=AppStream&infra=$infra)
