Centos: Remi vs IUS

nfn

Hi,

For those who use Centos, do you use remi or ius and why?
I'm using remi because they have more packages but ius seems more secure (Safe Replacement Packages) and it's approved by the community.

I always recommend the Remi repo, I've never had issues with it, and people have had issues with others. I've never used or heard about IUS so I can't comment on that. But I've always used the remi repo.

IUS, mainly because of the safe replacement packaging and fewer packages leading to less possible fuckery.

Kloxo-MR use ius and webtatic for php and use ius for httpd 2.4.

When I download software for Centos, if I know off the bat how to build it, I'll usually do it from source but for packages like nano, I'll use the default repo.

In the case of this thread, I prefer Remi

I use both Remi and IUS Community for Centmin Mod LEMP - managed via yum priorities (for all 3rd party yum repos) to prevent conflicts not that there are any for Remi and IUS. I use IUS mainly just for python 2.7 side install for CentOS 6 and Remi for other stuff like Redis, ImageMagicK etc.
