Package Requests

Use this page to post a request for a package that you would like to see in the RPM Fusion repository. If a package can be included in Fedora, please submit the request to the Fedora Wishlist or to the Fedora Games SIG Wishlist.

Package request that don't give a reason why the package cannot go to Fedora will get silently removed from this list without further notice; if you are unsure if a package is suitable for Fedora then submit it to aforementioned wishlists from the Fedora project or ask Fedora or RPM Fusion contributors for advice.

Note, there is no guarantee that the package will be built, but it serves as a basis for maintainers looking for ideas on what to package next. The best way to get a package into RPM Fusion quickly is to join RPM Fusion and maintaining the package yourself.

Please edit this page to add a new request ensuring the layout is maintained. For example:

  Request: foo
  Summary: A program that does all sorts of foo
  URL: http://www.example.com
  Why not in Fedora: Explanation why this package is not eligible as a regular package in the Fedora repositories; packages request without this information will get removed from this list
  Notes: Optional notes section which may be useful for potential packagers

Requests will be removed where an RPM already exists in Fedora or RPM Fusion itself.
