i'm looking for aditional repo's to add to yum that:
- have multimedia apps
- don't break my centos base install
Just about any 3rd party repo CAN break your base install ...
The 3rd party repos that are the best at not doing that are:
RPMforge centos.karan.org
Even with these, I would recommend that you install the application first via yum ... make a note of the packages that get installed ... and in the repo section of the .repo file for that repo, add a line:
includepkgs=package1 package2
That will allow only those packages to be considered from those repos ...
Another option is to use the protectbase plugin ... this is an easier option and it affords good protection too, though not quite as much protection as the includepkgs= option:
http://wiki.centos.org/centoswiki/PackageManagement/Yum
(Look at the general section on "Yum Plugins", then go to the protectbase link)
