<p>It&#8217;s been coming along for so long a time, but today <a title="RPM Fusion" href="http://rpmfusion.org/" target="_blank">RPM Fusion</a> has officially launched as the premiere third-party RPM repository for Fedora users. RPM Fusion is meraged from<a class="http" href="http://dribble.org.uk/">Dribble</a>, <a class="http" href="http://rpm.livna.org/">Livna</a> and <a class="http" href="http://freshrpms.net/">FreshRPMs</a> repositories  to simplify end-user experience by grouping as much add-on software as possible in a <strong>single </strong>location. RPM Fusion is a massive third-party repository with huge number of RPM packages that can&#8217;t ship with Fedora or RHEL due to legal restrictions and/or the packages don&#8217;t comply with free software licenses.</p>
<p><span id="more-222"></span></p>
<p>Here below comes with a FAQ which was sent to me through Fedora mailing list:</p>
<p>== What applications can be found in the RPM Fusion repositories ==</p>
<p>The RPM Fusion project provides a variety of different applications:</p>
<p>=== Sound and Video / Multimedia applications ===</p>
<p>We have all that is needed to play all kinds of media files, such as<br />
MP3 or unencrypted DVDs<br />
and ship additional multimedia applications such as MPlayer, VLC and Xine.</p>
<p>=== Kernel Drivers ===</p>
<p>We offer the ATI and Nvidia closed-source drivers in a<br />
Fedora-compatible RPM package<br />
for users whose video cards are not yet fully supported with the stock<br />
open source drivers.</p>
<p>=== Games ===</p>
<p>We offer couple of games such as:<br />
* Bub&#8217;s Brothers<br />
* Secret Maryo Chronicles<br />
* UFO: Alien Invasion<br />
* Wörms of Prey, xrick<br />
* GLtron<br />
* and lot others !</p>
<p>=== Emulators ===</p>
<p>We offer emulators for most retro platform:</p>
<p>* VICE for Commodore 64 and other vintage Commodore 8 bit computers<br />
* E-UAE for Amiga<br />
* Nestopia and FCEUltra for NES<br />
* ZSNES and Snes9x for Super NES<br />
* and many many others!</p>
<p>== More Information ==</p>
<p>RPM Fusion provides packages for all Fedora releases that are<br />
supported by Fedora project, which includes the development branch<br />
&#8220;rawhide&#8221;.</p>
<p>We have two separate repository lines:</p>
<p>* &#8220;free&#8221; for Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing<br />
Guidelines) which the Fedora project cannot ship<br />
* &#8220;nonfree&#8221; for redistributable software that is not Open Source<br />
Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines); this<br />
includes software with publicly available source-code that has &#8220;no<br />
commercial use&#8221;-like restrictions</p>
<p>Please read our wiki page about how to enable these repositories:<br />
<a href="http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration" target="_blank">http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration</a></p>
<p>RPM Fusion is a project started by the Dribble, Freshrpms and Livna<br />
teams. It aims to bring together many packagers from various 3rd party<br />
repositories and build a single add-on repository for Fedora and Red<br />
Hat Enterprise Linux. We hope to attract new Fedora packagers and hope<br />
that other 3rd party repositories will join us.</p>
<p>Are you interested? Do you want to help? Don&#8217;t hesitate and subscribe<br />
to our mailing lists at <a href="http://lists.rpmfusion.org/" target="_blank">http://lists.rpmfusion.org</a> or meet us in the<br />
#rpmfusion channel on freenode.</p>
<p>==== Do you find problems? ====</p>
<p>Fill bugs at <a href="https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/</a></p>
<p>=== A note for Livna users ===</p>
<p>All users that installed Livna properly (e.g. by installing the<br />
livna-release package) will get RPM Fusion free and nonfree<br />
repositories enabled automatically. All packages in Livna that are<br />
superseded by packages from RPM Fusion will soon be removed from the<br />
Livna repositories.</p>
<p>== Final notes ==</p>
<p>Thanks for you interest in RPM Fusion.</p>
<p><strong>Configuration</strong></p>
<p><strong>Upgrading from Livna or FreshRPMs:</strong></p>
<p>If you have already installed Livna (livna-release package) and FreshRPMs (freshrpms-release package) or just one of them, you will get RPM Fusion free and nonfree repositories enabled automatically.</p>
<p><strong>Installing RPM Fusion for Fedora 9</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If you want to enable access via yum to the free repository, just type the following command:<br />
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
</li>
<li>If you want to enable access to the nonfree repository too, you also need to type this command:<br />
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Installing RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 beta:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If you installed a Fedora Beta or you use Rawhide then use the following command to enable RPM Fusion free for rawhide:<br />
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm
</li>
<li>And also this one if you want to use non-free too:<br />
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm
</li>
</ul>
