I am currently looking at Centos, because I am really getting fed up with having stuff changed or having to reinstall my system every 6 - 9 months or so, or running a system without any updates.Now I am fully aware that this step to Centos (or RHEL or ScientificLinux for that matter) comes at the price of reduced software availability and older packages in general.But since Centos now has a working version of KDE4 available, and I generally see Firefox as an the older, the better software nowadays, this at first seems not too bad.And I don't really need to many other things (vlc, anaconda (python stuff), a hand full of browsers, wine and openTTD) I should be able to be happy with it.Just enable rpmfusion and epel, and that's it.Just that it isn't. Epel works, but rpmfusion does not exist (anymore? yet?). There is only a repo for Centos6 and 5, and searching for info about it, I only find stuff about enabling it for 6, two mailing list entries of people asking for it, one mentioning infrastructure issues and of course lots of blog posts of the just copy and paste this, and this and this and that and you are good to go.So what's happening?Is rpmfusion dead?Do I just have to wait a bit, till they are finished?Has it been renamed/moved?Is there another, generally accepted, large repo?On the latter point, it seems like atrpms and nux-dextop are at least not warned about, and could offer what I need, but http://atrpms.net/ seems offline, and nux seems like a one-man show, and I don't really trust those.
Where's rpmfusion? - CentOS7 as desktop/multimedia system
centos;rhel;rpm
Rpmfusion infra lacks of volunteer. For some reason they decided to move to git and not branch until they finish the move:https://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2014-October/017494.htmlThis lasts more then year unfortunately.
