I left Livna on 0 and set FreshRPMs to -2.  That means you can use "Upgrade 
All Packages" without having to worry about a conflict.  Other than that, I 
just eyeball the packages and watch to see if any of the FreshRPMs packages 
cause changes to the Livna packages.  I also set the main PlanetCCRMA repo 
to -2, but I haven't had any noticeable problems with that one.

Unfortunately, there's no consistent way to avoid conflicts... well, unless 
you only use the main repository.  I find I can avoid conflicts easier with 
Smart, though.
