Fedora :: How To Get The Current Repositories

Repository configuration for Fedora 13, and a few earlier releases. I don't see these repositories mentioned together on one page or web site, so I thought I'd throw this together.

You'll need the RPMFusion repos, so hit the link and follow the instructions there.

If you want to be able to play DVD video you'll need a file called libdvdcss so you'll need the Livna repository. To set up the Livna repository, open a terminal and type

Code:

su -c 'rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm'
su -c 'rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna'
Then install libdvdcss with the command

Code:

su -c 'yum install libdvdcss'
Adobe

The Adobe repositories provide the Adobe Reader and the flash plugin. To install this repository issue the following commands:

Code:

su -c 'rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm'
su -c 'rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux'

To install Adobe Reader issue the following command:

Code:

su -c 'yum install AdobeReader_enu'

This reader is available in several languages. The one above is the English version. To list all available issue the following command:

Code:

yum list AdobeReader*

You'll see several listed. To get more information on a particular package use something like:

Code:

yum info AdobeReader.chs
Available Packages
Name : AdobeReader_chs
Arch : i486

I prefer to leave these additional repositories disabled (with the exception of RPMFusion of course) after I've gotten what I need from them. At that point they don't need to be enabled, but there's no harm done if they are. To disable any of the repositories you've installed open the corresponding file with a text editor. Using Livna as an example:

Code:

su -c 'nano /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo'

Find the first instance of the line that reads enabled=1 and change it to read enabled=0. Save and exit the editor. The Livna repository is now disabled.
