Yes. If the user has fedora and rpmfusion enabled, but livna disabled, it'll do in the first pass: updates from all configured and enabled sources and on the second pass: disable fedora and rpmfusion enable fedora-testing and rpmfusion-testing updates from all configured and enabled sources enable fedora and rpmfusion disable fedora-testing and rpmfusion-testing If you've got livna installed then it shouldn't touch the repo. The tricky bit is the heuristic that matches up rpmfusion-testing to rpmfusion. > Otherwise people that use those repos will > now and then run into dependency troubles -- for example when a new > xine-lib enters updates-testing from Fedora and xine-lib-extras-nonfree > enters updates-testing from RPM Fusion at the same time.
