I'm missing something... I see nothing at all on that page that
would work or be relevant for livna.  How about:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/
knowing that livna belongs under item 7:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/sn-using-repositories.html
but isn't mentioned specifically, perhaps as a matter of the same
policies that keep the contents out of the extras repository.
