GNU/Linux Oracle 10 Installing RPM Fusion Repository
How to Install RPM Fusion Repository on Red Hat Enterprise based Linux 10 desktop/server.
To Enable RPM Fusion for OEL 10 there are multiple procedures, but here I describe how to do it via the Oracle Command Line.
RPM Fusion is a third-party software repository for Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise based Linux (RHEL) derivatives. It provides additional packages not included in the official Fedora or RHEL repositories due to licensing or other issues.
RPM Fusion is divided into two main repositories:
- Free repository: Contains free and open-source software (FOSS) packages that comply with Fedora’s licensing guidelines but are not shipped with Fedora. Includes multimedia codecs, graphics drivers, and other applications.
- Nonfree repository: Contains software that does not comply with Fedora’s licensing guidelines due to patent or licensing restrictions. Includes proprietary drivers, software, and other non-open-source packages.
The RPM Fusion Project aims to provide a convenient way for users of Fedora, RHEL, and Oracle Linux to access a wider range of software packages while maintaining compatibility with Fedora principles.
Finally, the RPM Fusion Repository for Oracle 10 includes both Free and Non-Free software.
