Besides using third party repos, you can also use Red Hat Software Collections for the official Red Hat offering of more recent packages (requires RHN, not available for CentOS). https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Softwa... As another approach to mitigating dependency hell, you might consider using Docker containers for your services.

Software Collections are available for CentOS. http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL

Very nice, thank you.

I can learn to adjust to systemd But wow I cannot stand grub2, what a mess.

grub2 is pretty much the textbook definition of "overdesigned." All it has to do is transfer control to the OS... that's it. But somehow it grew code to parse filesystems, set up graphical user interfaces, load modules, and do half a dozen things that it really has no reason to do. Half the time this hairball won't even boot after you change something, because you forgot to run the correct script to refresh the other scripts, or you moved something on the disk.

Just install elilo and enjoy having a system that actually works.

Yes. I commit node_modules though.

Can you enumerate your reasons why?
