E.g. most multimedia codecs are shipped in this repository. It is included in Arch Linux, in the extra repository (i.e. non core packages). libdvdcss is not included in Debian, Ubuntu and SUSE. Debian users must use Debian Multimedia repository - which is not part of the Debian project but it is maintained by Debian developers or maintainers and therefore it seems similar to RPM Fusion. https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/libdvdcss.git/tree/debian Debian multimedia also provides libdvd-pkg. `dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg` may be used to build and install libdvdcss* package(s). https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/libdvdcss-pkg.git/tree/debian This package is also provided in Ubuntu 15.10+ and it must how their users must install libdvdcss: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs Debian/Ubuntu uses can also use a VideoLAN repository to install libdvdcss: http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html VideoLAN also hosts a repository for SuSE users which includes libdvdcss. Libdvdcss is already packaged for Fedora in Remi's RPM repository and in United RPMS. http://rpms.famillecollet.com/fedora/24/remi/i386/repoview/libdvdcss.html http://unitedrpms.sourceforge.net/x86_64/repoview/libdvdcss.html Summarizing, these are the methods we can implement: 1. ship libdvdcss in the free repository 2. ship libdvdcss in a newly created repository 3. ship a package that can build and install libdvdcss in the free repository 4. don't ship libdvdcss and refer to another (non RPM Fusion maintained) repository Maybe we should ask various RPM Fusion mirror maintainers what they think about and what is their preferred method to ship libdvdcss.
