Planet CCRMA should be compatible with Livna... if it is not then let me
know. As for other repos, it is difficult to test for compatibility all
the time. 

It is generally a good idea to enable the repository just for the
install of the package(s) you need. You could disable the extra ones by
default and then:

  yum --enablerepo yyy zzz

where yyy is the repo the package is on, and zzz is the package.
