The RPM Fusion team is proud to announce the public availability of our ''free'' and ''nonfree'' package repositories for Fedora 12 (Constantine). The repositories contain multimedia applications, kernel drivers, games and other software the Fedora Project doesn't want to ship for various reasons.

 

RPM Fusion repositories give Fedora 12 the ability to play all kinds of audio and video formats -- including, but not limited to MP3s or video files in MPEG or Xvid formats.

 

You can browse the repository contents for the ix86 (sometimes also called x86, i386, i686 or x86-32) architecture via these URLs

http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/12/Everything/i386/os/repoview/index.html

 

Note that x86-64, ppc and ppc64 are supported by RPM Fusion as well.

 

To make RPM Fusion repositories available on a freshly installed Fedora 12 system run 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'

}}}

(Reminder: You need to cut'n'paste all three lines)

 

More details and a GUI based way how to configure and use RPM Fusion can be found in our wiki at

You can also enable RPM Fusion while installing Fedora 12 -- details and some screenshots that should give you an idea how everything works can be found at

Please note that the graphics drivers from AMD are not available in the repositories right now as they are not compatible with the X-Server that is used in Fedora 12. Note that the Nvidia drivers are available via the updates-testing repos only at this time as they require some manual steps to make them work; see the howto for details:
