Is there any decent repositories for CentOS or Fedora?

Solution 1:

  • Livna - http://rpm.livna.org/
  • Dag - http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/
  • RPM Fusion - http://rpmfusion.org/
  • Freshrpms - http://freshrpms.net/
  • Remi - http://rpms.famillecollet.com/
  • Adobe - http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/2008/02/adobe_reader_now_available_via.html
  • Google - http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/yum.html
  • Skype - http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=29679
  • ATRpms - http://atrpms.net/
  • Dries - http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/

There are also lots of not so active / small repos for some specific applicationss. You could try digging thru opensuse build farms or just google with two keywords like:

repoview "jump to letter"

Solution 2:

I haven't used Fedora in quite some time, but I use CentOS a lot, and swear by the RPMForge repositories. The CentOS Wiki has instructions for setting up "repository protections" that will stop RPMForge from replacing core CentOS packages that it has bigger version numbers for. This makes it quite safe to add the RPMForge repo
