FYI for Livna I tried something else, but it didn't work out. I just used the same groups as Fedora in Livna (as Fedora Extras did in the past for Core as well) and made some crucial packages 'type="default"' -- for example gstreamer-plugins-ugly for the "GNOME Desktop 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.
