[Announce] RPM Fusion for EL is restored - EL7 support started

I'm please to announce that the RPM Fusion support for Enterprise Linux (RHEL,CentOS,SL) has been restored. The new Koji infra is now able to build packages for EL as free and nonfree repos (for some time already). Now it's possible for the packages built there to be pushed into the mirrors. Thx Xavier Bachelot, Orion Poplawski and others for heading the rebuilt of EL7 packages. You can find the related rpmfusion{free,nonfree}-release on the updated configuration page: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration At this time the content is still located in the testing repository for EL7, the planis to move them from testing to stable in one or two weeks from now. While bootstrapping the EL7 repo, we've tried to look at existing work, specially from the nux repo. Unfortunately we haven't received any direct help from this contributor. So if you feel like some of your work depends on anything not yet available in RPM Fusion for EL. Please consider joining http://rpmfusion.org/Contributors. We welcome any contributors that enjoy working with others. Some packages rely on the EPEL repository to be available. Because of that, our release rpm have a mandatory requires for epel-release. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL For the record EL6 repo is provided as i686 and x86_64 whereas EL7 is only provided as x86_64 at this time. This lead to an issue with multilib packages in our infra (same as EPEL). So here is the possible workaround: If there is no specific arched dependencies (either binary only or because of limited BR) The best way is to build the same package on el6, I will also tag the build on el7, so both i686 and x86_64 build from el6 will be available on el7. This is what I expect to use for libtxc_dxtn (and steam eventually). As usual, if there is any issue, please report bugs into our https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org (choose EPEL component in our bugzilla) On a side note, given EL5 support will end in two months from now, it's unlikely that we will do any changes there anyway. -- - Nicolas (kwizart)
