RPM 4.6.0 released
,----[ Quote ]
| Nine months after the last release, the RPM.org developers have announced RPM
| 4.6.0, a new version of the RPM Package Manager, one of the main packaging
| formats for many Linux distributions and part of the Linux Standard Base
| (LSB). One of the more important features of the RPM 4.6 release is that it
| is now based upon an cleaner and more maintainable codebase than RPM 4.4, and
| is being actively developed. For the average user, there should be very
| little change, apart from some queries being much faster and unsupported
| features being removed. The update contains many bug fixes and enhancements,
| including some long standing requests.

FreshRPMs and Livna Join Forces
,----[ Quote ]
| If you use Fedora and you want to be able to do useful things like play MP3s
| or DVDs you need to add an external repository like FreshRPMs or Livna. This
| is because MP3 playback is covered by patents in the United States, libdecss
| may be illegal to distribute, and a license agreement is required to playback
| DVDs. Ever since I tried Debian, I liked their way of doing things. The
| nonfree packages are in the official repos; they’re just disabled by default.

| as many as 10.5 million.

| Fedora Rawhide users can now start using it, and the brave among the Fedora 9
| and Fedora 8 users can also help testing.

What is the RPM Fusion project?
,----[ Quote ]
| Hans de Goede: We want to be a one stop place for Fedora add-on packages
| which cannot be in Fedora proper due to various issues. Currently we are a
| merger of the dribble, freshrpms and livna repositories, and we invite other
| repositories to join us.
