I don't know.

It (used to) gets updated when there is a new release, but this is 
indeed rather rare.
Actually I just checked and there is a new release, I'll try to reach 
out to the two people that can do something about that within Livna. 
I'll point them at this thread, both for the mirrorlist issue and 
outdated libdvdcss.

I agree that a repo for a single package is probably overkill, but until 
libdvdcss is accepted in RPM Fusion, I don't see a clean solution. The 
only other repo I know of which carries libdvdcss is Remi but it also 
carries packages that overlap with Fedora and this is not optimal, at 
least for me, so I'd rather keep Livna. For the record, the libdvdcss 
package which is in Livna is the same as in Remi repo.
