I haven't installed anything from Dag in a while (with extras and
livna pretty much everything I use is available there), so I can't
comment on their quality recently... 

However, liva is very very high quality in my experence. They do a
very good job of making sure they don't step on any other packages and
do very high quality packaging. 

Perhaps you are thinking of atrpms? While the packages there are nice,
they are very very quick to replace core packages with their own for
pretty much any reason. For example, for a long time they had their
own version of rpm that overode the core rpm. 

To each their own, but I am pretty impressed that liva can package the
ati X driver and make it not overwrite anything, let you switch back
and forth from it and the native X driver, and work nicely. (The ati
installer does none of these by default). 

Just my 2cents. :)
