To enable access to both the free and the nonfree repository use the
following command:
*
Fedora 10 or 11:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh
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 Alpha, Beta, Preview, Rawhide, RC, Snapshot aka. what will
become Fedora 12:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh
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 -Uvh
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'
-----------------------------------------/
The Fedora and RPM Fusion repo repository settings rely on settings set
up by the relevant release RPM, like the one below
fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm
Yumex captures the output from yum and therefore makes it easier to see
what has occurred and so decide what to do next. Naturally yum gives you
better access to all it's features.
Another application you may find useful is createrepo which as the name
suggests helps you to create your own repository.
Try searching the web, it's all there somewhere.
