That means you can use "Upgrade All Packages" without having to worry about a conflict. Other than that, I just eyeball the packages and watch to see if any of the FreshRPMs packages cause changes to the Livna packages. I also set the main PlanetCCRMA repo to -2, but I haven't had any noticeable problems with that one. Unfortunately, there's no consistent way to avoid conflicts... well, unless you only use the main repository. I find I can avoid conflicts easier with Smart, though. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
