Hello Mr Z,

Sorry for the response delay, I was in vacations.

Yes, my repo can be used alongside with EPEL. In fact, packages
have been build with EPEL enabled for dependencies solving.
I've wrote a short document about my repo here:
  http://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slsoc/6x/dim/soc-release/doc/SoCrepo/

In short, you can use XFCE from EPEL without problems as all my
packages are superseded by those from EPEL...

Have a nice day.
