Additional YUM Repositories for CentOS, RHEL & Fedora Systems

The title of the article should read "How to wreck your CentOS installation by mixing various third-party repositories that don't play well together while replacing core components of your system".
@kikinovak: I totally agree with you. Consistency is compromised when we introduce "foreign repos" into our systems. With CentOS systems, I limit my repositories to:
1. CentOS
2. EPEL
3. Pip (for python libraries)
Anything beyond that introduces unnecessary consistency risk.

Well, some of them you can mix, but only with some caution and a sensible configuration of yum-priorities, so your base packages don't get squashed.
I don't know about the other repositories, and therefore haven't had a need for them, but thought RPM Fusion was par for the Fedora course.

Yes RPM Fusion has been pretty solid for Fedora. Other sites such as AtRPMs much less so. RPM conflicts are common there.
From RPM Fusion's home page:
"That software is provided as precompiled RPMs for all current Fedora versions and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6".
Since RHEL 7 has been out for almost two years, I'd consider that repository unmaintained.
