Aha. But do such things exist? How do I distinguish a good repository from a
bad one? Specifically, I'd be interested to know what's recommended for CentOS
and RHEL - there's EPEL but we found it often just didn't have the packages we
needed.
My repo files (I use local mirror repositories with mrepo so I do not
have do download same packages from interenet, since 80% of Linux
machines are inside my network). Priorities are set by my trust in them
and their usefulness. You will find actual urls on internet:

"exclude=*releases" are so no repository installs vanilla repo files and
mess with my repo config files.
