Uninstalling a REPO?

I'd like to uninstall a repo -- not just the yum/apt/smart/etc. package configuration for that repo -- but also all of the packages that came from that repo. But I'd also like to be left with a system that boots and runs as one would expect. And, finally, I'd like to avoid wiping my Fedora Core install and reinstalling from scratch. How easy is this to do? Has anyone done this before? I figure that if I remove the medley-package-config (which brought in a bunch of repos, some of which are apparently incompatible with Fedora Core and Fedora Extras) and then install the packages which are dependencies of medley-package-config (like Firefox, X11, perl, etc.) that I need to have a useful system, I should be okay. But I'm guessing that this is not the case and that I've overlooked something. Any clues here? Also, is any package manager good with doing this more easily? $ magic-package-manager --removerepo ATrpms $ magic-package-manage --fix-my-broken-machine It seems odd (and seriously bad) that it's so easy to add a new repo to one's system, but so hard to remove the effects of that repo from one's system. Thanks.
