Atomic Corp [0] packages mysql-5-5, you can give them a try I have been using their repo for over a year, however I only use them for mysql and openvas-manager.

If you want mysql-5.5 please consider using IUS; it's sane, it works with the base centos packages properly and it's properly maintained.

Atomic should be avoided at all costs.

More information can be found by following the relevant links at:

In my eyes, none of them are an option as they do overwrite and replace base packages. The whole purpose of the mentioned software collections is, that do now affect the base packages and can be installed in parallel.
