EPEL pacakage
This is a repository maintained by the Fedora contributors, and is compatible with RHEL-derived distros. In my experience they all worked flawlessly. Useful packages including Node JS, Nginx, HAproxy, CouchDB and many other PHP modules.
To install the repo
1 | rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm |
To use it
1 | yum install --enablerepo=epel <package name> |
Remi Release
Just discovered this repository recently, the packages are very up-to-date. As of today, there are PHP 5.4.11, MySQL 5.5.30.
To install the repo
1 | rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm |
To use it
1 | yum install --enablerepo=remi <package name> |
Enjoy!

Seems EPEL decided to remove HAProxy from EPEL, if you want to install HAProxy, please check out this StackOverflow post.
