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. |
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
Enabling access to the free repository is easy and basically only one step:
click on one of the following files, depending on what the distributions you use and then follow the default options that Firefox and Package Kit 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 succeeds, you can enable access to the nonfree repositories:
click on one of the following files, depending on what the distributions you use 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:
Fedora 8, 9 or 10:
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'
Fedora Rawhide:
su -c 'rpm -ivh 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 -ivh 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'
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.
