Please note that, while Livna's packaging is meant to be highly compatible
with Fedora, it is in no way endorsed by, supported by, or related to the
Fedora Project. Even though it's one of the safer choices for third-party
repositories, everything and anything you install on your system from Livna
is entirely *at your own risk*.

(Also, please don't link to Livna directly. According to what I understand
from RH's legal team, doing so - even without explaining how to get the
packages - may constitute abetting or contributing to related patent
infringment.)

Thanks.
