FYI for Livna I tried something else, but it didn't work out. I

used the same groups as Fedora in Livna (as Fedora Extras did in the

Environment" . I assumed anaconda would then install
gstreamer-plugins-ugly by default as "GNOME Desktop Environment" is
selected by default. But anaconda/pirut did not do that (and I assume
it still don't).
I think they should (I filed a bug, but it got closed iirc), as that
way would be the cleanest for a 3rd party repo to get the right
packages (e.g. depending on the groups they selected) to the users.
At initial install time, if the livna repo is added, then what is
selected by default is the aggregate of all the repos contents of a
group. So yes, at install time this would be selected. After that
though, stuff isn't magically "added" just because it's marked as a
default in a group when you launch pirut, nor should it.
