RPM 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.

$/!\$ If you cannot say why a package cannot go in Fedora probably you shouldn't submit your request here but in one of the aforementioned wishlists.

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. Alternatively, please consider joining 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
  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.
