The page also could benefit from some screenshots. I didn't do them yet as I still hope we can set up what was discussed one or two weeks ago: a redirect rule on the mirrormanager servers that redirects URLs like

to
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-10&arch=i386

as the former IMHO is way easier to type and to remember. Adrian, Oliver, would that we possible without to much work?

RewriteRule ^/(free|nonfree)/(fedora|el)/(.*)/(.*)/$ 
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=$1-$2-$3&arch=$4 [R=301,last]

That should do it.

Thx

At least for the example you have given.

Hmmm. I suppose some people will want to use the Fedora and RPM Fusion updates repo in addition to the release repos; is that easy to do as well? And what about development/rawhide? IOW, these three afaics should work (nobody hopefully will enable the updates-testing repos during install):

http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/10/i386/
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/updates/10/i386/
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/development/i386/
(os s/development/rawhide/ ? Or both?)

Now Oliver needs to also include it in his configuration.

No need to hurry. If it's to complicated that we just leave everything as it was.

I am, however, not sure if this is such a good idea. If we do it, we
should maybe also convince Fedora to do it. So that the mirrorlist
offers the same interface at Fedora and RPM Fusion.

Might be a good idea. But it's not that badly needed for Fedora, as Fedora users normally don't have to type the URLs to enable the Fedora repos, as they are hardcoded in anaconda. But for the updates repo it might be a nice to have in Fedora as well.
