The RPM Fusion team is proud to announce the public availability of its repositories that provide software which the Fedora project cannot provide as easy-to-install RPM packages.

What applications can be found in the RPM Fusion repositories

The RPM Fusion project provides a variety of different applications as described below.

Sound and Video / Multimedia applications

We have all that is needed to play all kinds of media files, such as MP3 or unencrypted DVDs and ship additional multimedia applications such as MPlayer, VLC and Xine.

Kernel Drivers

We offer the ATI and Nvidia closed-source drivers in a Fedora-compatible RPM package for users whose video cards are not yet fully supported with the stock open source drivers.

Games

Bub's Brothers, Secret Maryo Chronicles, UFO: Alien Invasion, Wörms of Prey, xrick, GLtron and others!

Emulators

We offer emulators for most retro platform:

  • VICE for Commodore 64 and other vintage Commodore 8 bit computers
  • E-UAE for Amiga
  • Nestopia,
  • FCEUltra for NES
  • ZSNES and Snes9x for Super NES
  • and many many others!

More Information

RPM Fusion provides packages for all Fedora releases that are supported by Fedora project, which includes the development branch "rawhide".

We have two separate repository lines:

  • "free" for Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines) which the Fedora project cannot ship
  • "nonfree" for redistributable software that is not Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines); this includes software with publicly available source-code that has "no commercial use"-like restrictions

Please read our wiki page about how to enable these repositories: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

RPM Fusion is a project started by the Dribble, Freshrpms and Livna teams. It aims to bring together many packagers from various 3rd party repositories and build a single add-on repository for Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We hope to attract new Fedora packagers and hope that other 3rd party repositories will join us.

A note for Livna & Freshrpms users

All users that installed Livna properly (e.g. by installing the livna-release package) will get RPM Fusion free and nonfree repositories enabled automatically. All packages in Livna that are superseded by packages from RPM Fusion will soon be removed from the Livna repositories. Same for Freshrpm usage.


Thanks for you interest in RPM Fusion.
