it is one of the repos which make up the new rpmfusion, also we want this to work seamlessly.

Yes a tool where you can click install adobe flashplayer / install adobe reader / install google earth would be great. But I think it should be about installing apps, not about repo's, as people want apps not repos. That this enables repos under the hood is something which we should make clear to the end user. I do however not believe that this is the answer for libdvdcss, what I would like to see for libdvdcss is: rpm -ivh http://.......rpmfusion-nonfree-release.....rpm yum install libdvdcss To just work, this is way too convoluted IMHO: rpm -ivh http://.......rpmfusion-nonfree-release.....rpm yum install thirdparty-repo-enabler thirdparty-repo-enabler <click, click, wait, click> yum install libdvdcss
