Third Party YUM Repos with Centmin Mod
Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.08+ and higher installs and configures several third party YUM repositories to fullfill various YUM and source compilation dependencies and to make available YUM packages that CentOS base default repositories don't have. These Yum repositories are managed via Yum Priorities Plugin.
Centmin Mod uses MariaDB MySQL server by default and uses the official MariaDB Yum repo for both CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 (disable CentOS 7 MariaDB in favour of official repo for latest versions).
For example CentOS 7 has MariaDB 5.5.41 default from base repo. However, Centmin Mod installs MariaDB 10.0.x latest via official MariaDB Yum repo.

- MariaDB Official Yum Repository (no priorities as it's default MariaDB used)
- EPEL Yum Repository (priority=3)
- RPMForge/RepoForge Yum Repository (priority=5)
- Remi Yum Respoitory - disabled by default (priority=9)
- ATrpms Yum Respoitory - disabled by default (priority=90) As at September 12, 2015 this repository has been disabled from install as it seems ATrpms.net is down and not web accessible
- Percona Yum Respoitory - disabled by default (priority=11)
- Varnish Cache 3.x Yum Respoitory - disabled by default (priority=2)
- Axivo Yum Respoitory - disabled by default (priority=13 / 64bit OS only)
List of repo files at /etc/yum.repos.d/. There's a backup of each repo file with .OLD extension prior to implementing Yum priorities.

Majority of the third party Yum repositories are disabled by default and would require enabling by passing the following Yum options on the Yum command line where REPONAME is replaced with the name of the repository (it's repo id found in yum repolist all output below):
--enablerepo=REPONAME --disableplugin=priorities
Examples:
Installing Redis 3.0.2 from Remi Yum repo.
yum list redis --enablerepo=remi --disableplugin=priorities -q Available Packages redis.x86_64 3.0.2-1.el7.remi remi
yum -y install redis --enablerepo=remi --disableplugin=priorities
Installing Varnish Cache 3.0.7 from Varnish Cache official repo
yum list varnish --enablerepo=varnish-3.0 --disableplugin=priorities -q Available Packages varnish.x86_64 3.0.7-1.el6 varnish-3.0
yum -y install varnish --enablerepo=varnish-3.0 --disableplugin=priorities
Installing Percona Xtrabackup from Percona Yum repo
yum list percona-xtrabackup --enablerepo=percona-release-x86_64 --disableplugin=priorities -q Available Packages percona-xtrabackup.x86_64 2.2.11-1.el7 percona-release-x86_64
yum -y install percona-xtrabackup --enablerepo=percona-release-x86_64 --disableplugin=priorities
You can also take advantage of CentOS-Fasttrack repository for more recent YUM package updates. CentOS-Fasttrack repo is disabled by default.
CentOS-Fasttrack - Bugfix and enhancement updates are issued from time to time between update sets that may be rolled into the next update set by the upstream provider. The repository config files are included in the centos-release RPM for CentOS-5, CentOS-6, and CentOS-7 .. but are disabled by default. If you want to opt in and enable Fasttrack, you can edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-fasttrack.repo and set the Enabled=0 to Enabled=1 to turn on the fasttrack repo for all active versions of CentOS.
So to enable use the following optons on Yum command line:
--enablerepo=fasttrack --disableplugin=priorities
Example listing available updates with Fasttrack repo enabled.

You can also tag on the --enablrepo= line centosplus, remi-test and epel-testing repositories to enable those to see if there's available updates:
yum list updates -q --enablerepo=fasttrack,centosplus,epel-testing,remi-test --disableplugin=priorities Updated Packages bind-libs.x86_64 32:9.9.4-18.el7_1.3 updates bind-license.noarch 32:9.9.4-18.el7_1.3 updates bind-utils.x86_64 32:9.9.4-18.el7_1.3 updates cronie.x86_64 1.4.11-14.el7 fasttrack cronie-anacron.x86_64 1.4.11-14.el7 fasttrack gzip.x86_64 1.5-8.el7 fasttrack libmemcached.x86_64 1.0.16-5.el7 fasttrack libmemcached-devel.x86_64 1.0.16-5.el7 fasttrack perl-Date-Calc.noarch 6.3-14.el7 fasttrack postfix.x86_64 2:2.10.1-6.0.1.el7.centos centosplus postfix-perl-scripts.x86_64 2:2.10.1-6.0.1.el7.centos centosplusyum list updates -q --enablerepo=fasttrack,centosplus,epel-testing,remi-test --disableplugin=priorities
