VLC media player for Fedora Core 4
Yum repository
VLC 0.8.5 is available for Fedora Core 4 from a YUM repository hosted at VideoLAN or one of its mirrors. All packages have been GPG signed by Jean-Paul Saman. Download the publickey here.
Add the publickey to the RPM database with:
$> rpm --import gpg_pubkey_jean-paul.saman.asc
Add the following files to your /etc/yum.repos.d directory for updating and installing VLC from a YUM repository. Change the baseurl to a mirror closest to you (see below for a list of mirrors). You will need at minimum vlc.repo and vlc-contrib.repo :
file: vlc.repo
[vlc] name=VLC 0.8.5 - $basearch - VLC Base baseurl=http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.5/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/vlc/0.8.5/vlc enabled=1 gpgcheck=1
file: vlc-contrib.repo
[vlc-contrib] name=VLC 0.8.5 - $basearch - Contrib baseurl=http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.5/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/vlc/0.8.5/vlc-contrib enabled=1 gpgcheck=1
file: vlc-devel.repo
[vlc-devel] name=VLC 0.8.5 - $basearch - Devel baseurl=http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.5/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/vlc/0.8.5/vlc-devel enabled=1 gpgcheck=1
file: vlc-source.repo
[vlc-source] name=VLC 0.8.5 - $basearch - Source baseurl=http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.5/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/vlc/0.8.5/vlc-source enabled=1 gpgcheck=1
The first thing you must do after creating the above file is to run yum update as root user. This will update the repository meta information on you system. After this you can install vlc.
$ yum update $ yum install vlc
