I have a fair number of external repos enabled (livna, freshrpms, atrpms, adobe-linux) However, I have only given livna, my 'primary' external repo, the same priority as the main fedora ones. This means this repo is favored over the others if a package is available from there (even if the others have 'newer' ones). I can then use freshrpms and atrpms for the odd few rpms livna doesn't provide (openafs for intance from atrpms). Works very nicely once you have it set up. However, if you are currently in a dependency mess, you will need to clean that up first by hand before this using approach - Its no magic 'cleanup' bullet...

The thing that I don't understand is why is livna's faad2 package has release 2.0 ( dated Oct 2006 ), while faad2 package from freshrpm is 2.5 ? If I remove faad-2.5 from freshrpm to install faad-2.0 from livna, I may break other apps that depend on faad-2.5. John
