Yeah. It's a pity that both lack a plugin-system for stuff like mp3-support. But if the maintainer is the same in livna and extras I don't see a big problem -- yes, it's a problem, but has anybody a better solution? One idea: Create a sub-repo in livna with all the packages that replace/update/conflict with other Core or Extras packages. > This of course also makes the issue of protectbase on by default more > difficult, because if applied to Extras it would concievable hold-back > packages with mp3 support in livna that duplicate extras.
