I realise this is a minority view, and I am no sort of expert, but I would not include livna with the Fedora repositories. I would have two classes: 1. The 3 standard Fedora repositories (core, updates and extras); and 2. All the rest. I would include all the repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d/ but with "enabled=0" for the non-standard ones. Then if I wanted something eg in livna I would run "yum --enablerepo=livna install ...". -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
