Ok, I'm stumped. In debian, you could put a hold on a package with dpkg --set-selections. In the FC world, I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that with either apt-get or synaptic. It's very annoying because I have several packages installed that are newer than what's in the repositories (xscreensaver, for example) and apt-get insists it's older and wants to upgrade it.
Can anyone tell me how to get apt-get/synaptic to ignore a package in FC2?
I would suggest you put a priority on the fedora and livana packages as these projects are specifically geared to fedora, and then the other repositories for packages not available in fedora.us or livana.
Here is a apt preferences file that does just that.
