My statement was that smart does not use the livna.repo which is what
the OP asked about using. It does not but uses a channel equivalent
produced by running the script you spoke about. Now the question is does
the channel designate multiple baseurls or not. The livna.repo
identifies multiple baseurls. Does the smart channel? As far as I can
see it does not but I am willing to be corrected.
