All users that installed Freshrpms (e.g. by installing the ''freshrpms-release'' package) or Livna (e.g. by installing the ''livna-release'' package) properly will get RPM Fusion free and nonfree repositories enabled automatically. Installation can be done either using a web browser, or via the command line.

Installation can be done using either using a web browser, or via the command line.  1. First enable access to the '''free''' repository. For users of gpk (gnome package kit) or kpackagekit in Fedora that is easy and basically only one step: just click on one of the following files, depending on what distribution you use and then follow the default options that Firefox and Package Kit offer by clicking ''Enter'' a few times (¹):

 * You need to enable [[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL|EPEL]] on RHEL5 or compatible distributions like CentOS ''before'' you enable RPM Fusion for EL. See the fedoraproject wiki for instruction [[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse|how to enable EPEL]].
Line 53: Line 40:
== Enabling other Third-Party Repositories ==  * The RPM Fusion for EL repositories are still in the early testing stages; hence you (for now) need to enable epel-testing as well, as some of the RPM Fusion packages depend on packages that are currently in epel-testing.
Line 55: Line 42:
/!\ RPM Fusion is specifically designed to work with Fedora '''only'''. Mixing with other [[FedoraThirdPartyRepos|third-party RPM repositories]] can very easily lead to problems. '''''Enable them at you own risk!'''''

In this case, you should seriously consider using the '''priorities''' yum plugin to enforce ordered protection of repositories. Packages installed from repositories with a higher priority will never be upgraded with packages from repositories with a lower priority. The priorities are also in effect when a new package is installed - if a package is in more than one repository, it will be installed from the repository with the highest priority.

To install the priorities plugin, use the following command:

{{{
yum install yum-priorities
}}}

To enable this plugin, make sure that you have ''plugins=1'' in '''/etc/yum.conf''' and verify that the '''/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf''' file has the following content:

{{{
[main]
enabled=1
}}}

If you want the plugin to protect high-priority repositories against obsoletes in low-priority repositories, enable the ''check_obsoletes'' boolean:

{{{
check_obsoletes=1
}}}

You can add priorities to repositories by adding the line:

{{{
priority=N
}}}

to a repository entry, where N is an integer number from 1 to 99. The default priority for repositories is 99. The repositories with the lowest number have the highest priority.

You should give a very high priority to Fedora and RPM Fusion repositories.
 * All users that used Freshrpms or Livna installed properly (e.g. by installing one of their ''foo-release'' packages) got RPM Fusion free and nonfree repositories enabled automatically.

Installing Free and Nonfree Repositories

Installation can be done either using a web browser, or via the command line.

Graphical Setup via Firefox web browser

  1. First enable access to the free repository. For users of gpk (gnome package kit) or kpackagekit in Fedora that is easy and basically only one step: just click on one of the following files, depending on what distribution you use and then follow the default options that Firefox and Package Kit offer by clicking Enter a few times (¹):

  2. Once that succeeds, you can enable access to the nonfree repositories by clicking on one of the following files, depending on what distribution you use and then follow the default options that Firefox and Package Kit offer by clicking Enter a few times(¹):

(¹) Once you clicked on above link Firefox will ask you how to Open the file. Here you can simply use the default and open the file with the default application Package Installer. Then Firefox will call Package Kit, which asks Do you want to install this file ?. Click OK to begin install; Package Kit then will complain about a Missing security signature; once you tell Package Kit to install the package nevertheless it will move on and install it. That's all.

Command Line Setup using rpm

To enable access to both the free and the nonfree repository use the following command:

  • Fedora 10 or 11:

    su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
  • Fedora Alpha, Beta, Preview, Rawhide, RC, Snapshot aka. what will become Fedora 12:

    su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm'
  • RHEL5 or compatible like CentOS:

    su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/testing/5/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-5-0.1.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/testing/5/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-5-0.1.noarch.rpm'

Important notes

  • You need to enable EPEL on RHEL5 or compatible distributions like CentOS before you enable RPM Fusion for EL. See the fedoraproject wiki for instruction how to enable EPEL.

  • The RPM Fusion for EL repositories are still in the early testing stages; hence you (for now) need to enable epel-testing as well, as some of the RPM Fusion packages depend on packages that are currently in epel-testing.
  • All users that used Freshrpms or Livna installed properly (e.g. by installing one of their foo-release packages) got RPM Fusion free and nonfree repositories enabled automatically.
