Updating repositories

Following Fedora Core 4 Tips & Tricks, I added support for the Livna and freshrpms software repositories. Following Tips & Tricks we do (as root, or with sudo):

#rpm -ihv http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/livna-release-4-0.lvn.2.4.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ihv http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/4/i386/RPMS.freshrpms/freshrpms-release-1-1.fc.noarch.rpm

to make the repository information available to yum and apt. In addition, I also had to import the Livna GPG key:

rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

and now both repositories are available.

Isn't it true that we shouldn't use livna repository with the
freshrpms and others ( called RPMforge) ?

This guy has a warning on that.

So far I haven't had a serious problem with that. Well, OK, there seems to be a version problem with the mplayer DVD package, but other than that, nothing.
