Hi!
Find below a cut'n'pasted and slightly enhanced version of a post from
my blog FYI:
As you'll likely have heard by now: RPM Fusion ( http://rpmfusion.org ),
the merger of Dribble, Freshrpms and Livna gets closer to its official
release/start. Most of the packages from Livna have been imported and
build for RPM Fusion already, hence we now begin to slowly move users
from Livna over to RPM Fusion by activating the RPM Fusion free and
nonfree rawhide repos for users of livna's devel branch *now*.
The transition works like this: I just added the rpmfusion-release
packages for the RPM Fusion's free and nonfree rawhide repos to the
livna-devel repo; in parallel I built a new livna-release package that
tracks those two in with a hard dep. That way all users that installed
livna properly (e.g. by installing the livna-release package) will get
RPM Fusion repos enabled automatically with the next update. Yum/PK will
hence with the overnext update will download a big bunch of updates, as
all the packages were build anew for RPM Fusion; but rawhide users are
likely used to big downloads, so this should hopefully not be a big
problem ;-)
Note, nearly all of livna's packages have been imported and build for
RPM Fusion, but a few are still missing. So you should leave livna-devel
enabled for now if you want access to those. Once all the packages have
a new home we'll let the rpmfusion-nonfree-release package obsolete
livna-release.
But please note that all the packages that have been imported and build
in RPM Fusion will *not* be updated anymore in livna-devel! Hence if you
didn't install livna using the livna-release package then please enable
RPM Fusion using the following command:
rpm -ivh \
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm \
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm
That command from now on is the right one to use if you want RPM Fusion
enabled on your fresh new Fedora Alpha/Beta/RC/Rawhide install.
FYI, the plan is to move livna users of F8 and F9 over to RPM Fusion
with the same trick sooner or later. But some things in RPM Fusion need
to get brought in shape before we start doing that. But if you want you
can already help by using and testing RPM Fusion for F8 and F9 by
running this command:
rpm -ivh \
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm \
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
RPM Fusion's Bugtracker (please report all issues here and not on the
mailing lists!):

Mailing lists for RPM Fusion users (includes users of the devel branch)

Mailing lists for RPM Fusion developers:

Please spread the news, to make sure all the docs in the internet get
updated! tia!

P.S.: BTW, some of you might have noticed already, the livna mailing
lists (like freeworld{,-graphics}@livna.org) are dead since a few weeks;
the hard disk in Anvil's mailman host died afaik (I don't know more
details; sorry). But Livna will be superseded by RPM Fusion soon anyway,
so simply use the those lists from rpmfusion from now on. They should
serve well for the remaining time, as all the livna contributors should
be subscribed there as well. Sorry for the trouble.
P.P.S.: Sorry for crossposting this to four lists, but it seemed wise
for this announcement...
