== 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.
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.

Graphical Setup via Firefox web browser

Enabling access to the free repository is easy and basically only one step:

  1. click on this file: rpmfusion-free-release and then follow the default options that Firefox and PackageKit offer by clicking Enter a few times.

Verbose: 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; The install should go through various testing, and installing stages, and then complete. That's all.

Once that succeed you can enable access to the nonfree you can enable access to the nonfree repositories:

  1. click on this file: rpmfusion-nonfree-release and then follow the default options that Firefox and Package Kit offer by clicking Enter a few times.

The individual steps after clicking on the link are the same as the ones for the free repository.

Command Line Setup using rpm

To enable access to both the free and the nonfree repository use 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'

Rawhide

If you installed a Fedora Alpha/Beta/Preview or you use Rawhide then use the following command to enable RPM Fusion the free and nonfree repositories for rawhide:

su -c 'rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm'
su -c 'rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm'

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.
