Hi!
David, thx for taking care of the page. A few notes for general discussion:

I: My thought exactly.
Perhaps it would be simpler to point to the
folder containing the repodata folder, and suggest to select -release(s)
and the particular packages the person is interested in.
II: it didn't actually work for me - not sure if I spelt incorrectly in
my VMware install or what.
- I ended up without the /etc/yum.repos.s/rpmfusio* stuff (I think that
is what was meant by the below comment on the wiki)
- nor could I find any rpmfusion packages in anacondas package select
groups.
I'm wondering if we
should set up URL aliases somewhere to make life easier for everyone
that wants to use RPM Fusion in anaconda.
Example:
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/alias?f9u-i386-free
(or something like that= could redirect to
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-updates-released...
Perhaps we could hassle Jeremy to allow to define the extra repo by
pointing to a single -release rpm, by either URL or disk location
{including USB}.
He would need to:
{- fire-up a mini web browser, to let the user find the web site and
install instructions}
{- let the user click an rpm. capture the click and fill in the release
rpm text box with the URL}
- grab that rpm
- display the information about the rpm eg RPM Fusion repo definitions
for yum
- display the GPG key so the user could compare with a website published
key, and choose to accept the rpm as legit.
- install (or temporary put it somewhere) it, so that the information
about the repo could be displayed to the user - eg RPM Fusion Free repo.
{- give the chance to select which parts are enabled eg -testing, debuginfo}
- update the package lists/tree to include any rpms available via the
configured repo.
- install the -release rpm as a minimum.

Jeremy did some changes to anaconda; hopefully the release packages get
tracked in by default now in F10 and later; I did not find time to test
this yet. Anybody interested to drive this forward?
I'm not sure it worked, but
I don't know if I did something else
wrong... and I plan to try again.
Actually at the moment, I wouldn't really suggest the during install
way, too many places to go wrong.

Seems the links I made for mirrorlist URL is
wrong or just having a
hiccup at the moment ?

The returned page is fully blank. View source shows no
content at all,
and firefox doesn't appear to be seeing a 404 etc.

That's quite a lot to type and easy to get wrong. I'm wondering if we
should set up URL aliases somewhere to make life easier for everyone
that wants to use RPM Fusion in anaconda.
Example:
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/alias?f9u-i386-free
(or something like that= could redirect to
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-updates-released...
It would be near trivial to create a rewrite rule for this that works
for everything we provide and forever (i.e. for both Fedora and EPEL and
any version number).
Something like :
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/fedora/9/x86_64 -> the right free list
Easy to type, easy to remember, easy to copy/paste "manually" from a
screen to a keyboard ;-)
Previously, the "updates" repo has been mentioned, but for installs,
don't we want to be providing the "os" one instead? As if packages in
the updates have been build against Fedora updates with higher library
versions, deps will fail (I thought that was the whole point to start
with the "os" repo then switch to the "updates" from there).

Sounds very good :-)
Something like :
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/fedora/9/x86_64 -> the right free list
s!fedora!free/fedora/ and you get a +1 from me ;-)

Exactly.
Previously, the "updates" repo has been mentioned, but for
installs,
don't we want to be providing the "os" one instead?
For F10 and later: Yes, definitely. But I don't think it's worth the
trouble to fill the "release" repos for F8 and F9 (especially as the bug
in anaconda makes enabling RPM Fusion during install not really a good
idea); but we of course can do that if we want.
As if packages in
the updates have been build against Fedora updates with higher library
versions, deps will fail (I thought that was the whole point to start
with the "os" repo then switch to the "updates" from there).
Yeah, it is. But note, some people also enabling the update repo during
install. Hence those would need to enable the updates repo from RPM
Fusion as well.
