It provides many useful packages that can not be distributed in Fedora (previously known as Fedora Core and Extras). Typically, they cannot be distributed with Fedora due to licensing issues. Livna solves this problem by making the missing packages available to Fedora users.To use with yum you need to install the rpm repository list. For Fedora 8, as an example, do the following: wget http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm rpm -ih livna-release-8.rpmThe ffmpeg package is missing from Fedora 8. After adding livna packages to the database a simple execution of: yum install ffmpegdownloads and installs ffmpeg along with dependencies on your Fedora system.[[Category:Linux Distributions]]
