About us

UnitedRPMs is a group of friends making RPMs

We maintain the multimedia codecs and other software and addons which are missing in the official Fedora repositories. Play and work with multimedia, use the Web without problems.

Fedora United was born as a Google+ community made by David Vásquez whose purpose is to unite all distributions based on Fedora; so he updated and made in free time several basic packages for rawhide purposes. Various people liked it and the three crazy people, Sérgio Basto, Pavlo Rudyi and David Vasquez created the UnitedRPMs Project

Principles of UnitedRPMs Project

1) The UnitedRPMs project, is of general purpose; Which strives to keep up to date and usually offers the latest versions of most software.

2) A non-political project; With objectivist ideas.

3) Non-discrimination against persons or groups.

4) Our priority is our users.

5) UnitedRPMs is a compilation of software packages, each under its own license. The compilation itself is released under the MIT license.

6) The UnitedRPMs project is what you make of it; Based on principles 1-5.

Work

We maintain the multimedia codecs and other software and addons which are missing in the official Fedora repositories. Play and work with multimedia, use the Web without problems.

What is the purpose of this project?

Well, to maintain a solution for people with unstable Fedora distributions, improve our technical skills, create a Copr-like build system for package incompatibles with the Fedora Project. UnitedRPMs it's not a branch maintenance of other projects, it is only a way to give the user a fast solution without bureaucracy or where everyone can help.

Why doesn't UnitedRPMs contribute to others Third-Party projects?

Our model of development and organizational structure are very different. UnitedRPMs provides new packages/updated packages, but the significative difference is UnitedRPMs works in a similar model Rolling Release; example you have ffmpeg 4.1 in Fedora 28, then you have ffmpeg 4.1 in Fedora 31... Each package is released when a new version is tested and ready. Other differency, UnitedRPMs is a do-ocracy project; in which individuals choose roles and tasks for themselves and execute them. Example: “Jeez, why does Mary get to decide what everyone eats and when they work? Who put her in charge?” Older and wiser heads will say, “This is a do-ocracy. If you think you can do Mary’s job, and you want to, then get up therae and do it. She’ll probably be relieved. If not, don’t be a jerk and make a big stink about it, or else she’ll stop working so hard and we won’t have anything to eat!”. Other differency UnitedRPMs uses its own infraestructure and not depend of decisions of sponsors. We believe in a flexible ecosystem where everyone can be helpful to the community without bureaucracy and without being a lone rider. Some of our packages were reworked from RPMFusion and can be used by everyone; unofficially as extended rpmfusion rawhide.
