It forces you to create a livna channel. This breaks the structure of the livna.repo because smart, as far as I can see, has the same bug as yumex. It cannot have a channel with multiple baseurls. At least that is what I found. So in my opinion it is smart that is to blame not livna. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
