You should not use the system's yum configuration when using Revisor. 
Instead, edit /etc/revisor/revisor.conf and /etc/revisor/conf.d/*

Revisor has just recently re-enabled it's CLI which hadn't been given 
much love since the beginning because the GUI of course was the 
eye-catcher. There is a more up-to-date package in the updates-testing 
or development repository. To build Revisor from source use the document on:
