Perhaps the wording can be better on that rule (suggestions?), but the spirit of that rule is "What happens when I run `yum update`?" I don't see your example as conflicting with that rule. You can easily resolve that example by installing the desired php stack first, and then installing phpMyAdmin. It is less than ideal, but we have to work within the limitations of yum's dependency resolution. We entertained the idea of having ius-release depend on yum-plugin-priorities, but since the default priority is 99, there is no way to have a new repo be a lower priority than a stock one. You would have to edit the base repo files to set them to a higher priority first.

Obviously CentOS and EPEL have a special relationship, since they are both sponsored by Red Hat. A coworker suggested to me that it would be nice if the ius-release RPM could be included in Extras as well. I brought the idea up in IRC, and Karanbir suggested I draft up a specification that any third party repository can follow to be considered for inclusion. Here is what I have so far. > > https://gist.github.com/cgtx/b854281462a18007f509 >From above text. * Must not automatically install, upgrade, or replace stock distribution packages when the repository is enabled. Problem: lot of packages is repositories following this RFC provides the same "virtual" to be able to be a drop-in alternative for base packages. Ex: $ rpm -qp --provides php-mysql-5.3.3-40.el6_6.x86_64.rpm php-mysql = 5.3.3-40.el6_6 php-mysqli ... $ rpm -qp --provides php56u-mysqlnd-5.6.7-1.ius.el6.x86_64.rpm php-mysql = 5.6.7-1.ius.el6 php-mysqli = 5.6.7-1.ius.el6 ... What happen if someone (or a package dep.) try to pull php-mysqli ? Yum is unable to select the correct package. So the rule, from the RFC is not honored. More, there is a lot of 3rd party repository, most of them are not designed to be compatible with others (usually only with base + epel). Sometime, users install a lot of these 3rd party repositories, and create terrible mess in their system. If CentOS is going to add "some" 3rd party repositories configuration, I think this will encourage users to enable them, and thus result in more mess. Remi. P.S. exemple of such issue, on an fresh C6 installation: # yum --enablerepo=ius install phpMyAdmin ...
