You could remove (or disable: "enabled=0" in the .repo file) the repository. Then remove jahshaka using rpm: rpm -e jahshaka If you install jahshaka from source, try not to put it in the main vendor space; it will cause dificulties with RPM based installs later, as the RPM database will not know about it. If the source distribution uses Configure, try building with --prefix=/usr/local. This will keep the installed files out of the area the RPMs work in.
