You will also want to read the warning about mixing repositories at the
top of http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraHOWTO.

My experience is that one should use packages from either the FreshRPMS
"family" (FreshRPMS, ATrpms, Dag [Axel would comment this one out, but
works-for-me. ;^)], NewRPMS, Dries, ...) OR Fedora.US/Livna but NOT
both.  Only JPackage seems to be sufficiently friendly as to be mutually
compatible.

Many more packages are available from FreshRPMS and friends, but chances
of compatibility problems seem to be greater.  If you use this group you
probably want to join freshrpms-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
