I'm fine with nux-desktop also, wasn't planning on switching. Was just
wondering if they were mixable, but seems can't be sure.

Why would you want to use rpmfusion over nux? I've had great success
anyway with nux.

Great, didn't know that about rpmfusion now doing el7. Anyone know if
nux-desktop repo and rpmfusion can be mixed together? It's not
mentioned
on their FAQ.
Quote from the announcement on the rpmfusion list - I forget how to
get
a link:
"While bootstrapping the EL7 repo, we've tried to look at existing
work, specially from the nux repo. Unfortunately we haven't received
any direct help from this contributor."
I ought to say that the nux packages have worked well for me.
.. and back on topic - if Yasha had his local repo enabled he should
already have the packages he wants. I didn't/don't.

Yesterday afternoon, I did a successful update from production 7.2
to
production 7.3 through yumex. In addition to the SL production
repositories, I use the epel, elrepo, and google-chrome
repositories
for
specific add-ons, including nvidia support. I only use kernels
from
SL. Although the update was slow, it taking a very long time for
the
nvidia portion to complete cleanup (I left after a 5 minute wait),
when
I came back this morning, everything appears to be working,
including
applications that have not been touched since I first installed SL
7
(e.g., UCSF chimera, Weizmann grace). The machine to which this
was
done has a 802.3 wired connection to a USA university research
backbone. The next thing to update is my laptop that has a 802.11
connection to a production network, significantly lower data rate.
Is
there any way to get a list of the required RPMs, download and burn
these to a DVD, and then have yumex use the DVDs, only going to the
network to get additional RPMs that turn out to be needed?

# cat /var/log/yum.log ?
yumex History shows I had 453 packages initially, then 86 more
security packages after a reboot. I also had 1 auto and one manual
update of the same google-chrome-stable package earlier today.
Seems
strange.
rpmfusion announced support for el7 today. Switching from nux looks
as if it could be 'interesting'
