RPM Fusion for Fedora
Since Fedora’s first days it was always a free distribution: no packages tainted by patents or restricted by licences were allowed in Fedora’s repositories. Due to that reason 3rd party repositories provided always additional packages for Fedora. However, these repositories were all of different quality, provided in parts the same packages and were not compatible to each other in every regard.
In the long term many Fedora users used either Freshrpms.net or Livna.org as their 3rd party repository of choice. Also, the project rpmforge emerged out of some repositories to bundle the forces provided packages for Fedora.
Now the RPM Fusion project was created out of the three repositories Livna, Freshrpms and Dribble to provide a single RPM repository for Fedora users and to also provide a place to other packages to submit and manage their problematic packages.
