The thing is that we may only use rpmfusion-free.repo and install just
that one.

About installation references to [1] I think we could improve
installation to: 
first rpm --import
"http://rpmfusion.org/keys?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-free-fedora-20" 
and second 
yum install
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm
-E %fedora).noarch.rpm

localinstall is not need it anymore
