rpmforge-extras

that is why you shuld be *very* careful in mixing repos

hence except rpmfusion you should limit the packages
you get from a repo in the .repofile to the ones you
need including their specific dependencies because
rpmforge is known as overriding core-packages careless

in the worst case such mixups lead to formally solved
dependencies with binary-incompatibilities (atrpms
is famous for doing so)

http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus
shows how "includepkgs" and "exclude" is used
