The RPM Fusion team is proud to announce the public availability of our free and nonfree package repositories for Fedora 10 (Cambridge). The repositories contain multimedia applications, kernel drivers, games and other software the Fedora Project cannot ship for various reasons.
RPM Fusion repositories give Fedora 10 the ability to play all kinds of audio and video -- including, but not limited to MP3s or video files in MPEG or Xvid formats.
You can browse the repository contents for the i386 architecture via these URLs (x86-64, ppc and ppc64 are supported as well):
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/repoview/index.html
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/repoview/index.html
To make RPM Fusion repositories available on a freshly installed Fedora 10 system run the following command:
$ su -c 'rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
More details about how to configure and use RPM Fusion can be found in our wiki: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
You can also enable RPM Fusion while installing Fedora 10 -- details and some screenshots that should give you an idea how everything works can be found at http://rpmfusion.org/EnablingRpmFusionDuringFedoraInstall
Please note that the graphics drivers from AMD are not yet available in the repositories as it seems they don't work with F10 right now. If you know how to make them work let us know, then we'll try to ship them as an update as soon as possible.
There is still a lot of room for a whole lot of improvements in RPM Fusion. If you are a packager (or want to become one) then join us! Our mailing lists can be found at http://lists.rpmfusion.org/mailman/listinfo
Thanks for you interest in RPM Fusion.

Reminder for the folks that plan to yum-update to Fedora 10
If you have rpmfusion packages installed on your system already and plan to live-update to Fedora 10 using yum then please leave the rpmfusion repositories enabled for the big "yum update" run. Thus you'll get all the updated packages from RPM Fusion as well, which is important, as their dependencies get fulfilled by the Fedora 10 packages. That's not the case for the old packages that are on your system right now -- those in fact have dependencies on the older Fedora bits you are about to update, which will lead to a lot of trouble.
Examples to get the most important bits from RPM Fusion
Once you installed the release rpm you can install software using the graphical software installation tools which are part of Fedora. As root-user you can also use yum on a command line to install packages; for example:
- if you'd like to install Xine (a video player), run
# yum install xine-lib-extras-freeworld xine
That will also improve Totem capabilities, as the Totem from F10 can use xine as backend as well.
- if you prefer MPlayer, run
# yum install mplayer-gui
- if you prefer VLC, run
# yum install vlc
- do you want to get enhanced audio and video support in applications that rely on GStreamer? Then run this:
# yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg
- do you want to get the latest Nvidia drivers? Then run this:
# yum install kmod-nvidia
Note that there are also "kmod-nvidia-173xx" and "kmod-nvidia-96xx" -- those are the legacy drivers that support older GeForce cards that are not supported by the latest drivers.
