But allow me to post a warning: Once a package you use from ATrpms
requires another (sub)package as found in ATrpms, but is shadowed by
livna, or a package in freshrpms requires another (sub)package from
freshrpms which is now shadowed by ATrpms and livna, or a package from
dries <and so on>, then you get peculiar bugs that are specific to how
you setup your system and the priorities, e.g. it is not even
reproducable by other users that use the same repos.

The repo maintainers may have tried to provide sane packages
compatible with the other repos, but the priorities revert this work.

This is called selective/partial enabling of a repo and no repo will
support any issues that may yield out of this. Because, as said, the
resulting bugs are of a rather per host nature.
