Add rpmfusion, Google, and Adobe YUM repositories to Fedora 12

Posted in Linux , google , howto

Google repo

$ sudo cat < /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo
[google]
name=Google - i386
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
EOF

The google repo has google-desktop-linux, google-chrome-unstable, and a ton of other packages.

RpmFusion repo

$ sudo 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

Or you can just open the two links in a browser and download/install them from there. You’ll find things like the kmod-VirtualBox-OSE kernel module, mythtv, xmms, vlc, ffmpeg, libmpeg2, gstreamer, and Nestopia (remember nesticle, the Nintendo emulator?) here.

Adobe repo

$ sudo rpm -Uvh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

You can get Adobe Reader here if you want to go full retard. I use a much faster pdf reader called “Poppler” (package name is poppler) that you can get in the standard repos.

You have to make that file exist in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. The contents of the file “google.repo” describe how to access the repository. It can be called anything you want, google,repo, goog.repo, g.repo, etc.
