== Enabling other Third-Party Repositories == /!\ 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. |
Upgrading from Freshrpms or Livna
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.
Installing Free and Non-Free Repositories
Installation can be done using either using a web browser, or via the command line.

If you are asked where to save the rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm choose the desktop and click save. When complete, view the download window, and double-click the downloaded rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm file

Rawhide
If you installed a Fedora Beta or you use Rawhide then use the following command to enable RPM Fusion free for rawhide:
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm
