Add ATRPMS and EPEL repository

I will try to install mplayer from atrpms repository. I will create yum configuration for it:

[root@centos-7 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo 
[atrpms]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

Now I need to import GPG signing key:

[root@centos-7 ~]# rpm --import http://packages.atrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms

Next repository I need to install is EPEL. It contains another packages mplayer depends on. I will download epel rpm and install it:

[root@centos-7 ~]# wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm
[root@centos-7 ~]# yum localinstall epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm 

Install dependecies

I will try to install mplayer and maybe it will work out of the box:

[root@centos-7 ~]# yum install mplayer

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Apparently it won't. I'll try to satisfy dependecies with fedora 19 packages. Here is the list:

• arts-1.5.10-22.fc19.x86_64.rpm
• dirac-libs-1.0.2-10.fc19.x86_64.rpm
• esound-libs-0.2.41-8.fc19.x86_64.rpm
• libnemesi-0.7.0-0.4.20110215git.fc19.x86_64.rpm
• lirc-libs-0.9.0-11.fc19.x86_64.rpm
• nas-libs-1.9.3-6.fc19.x86_64.rpm
• netembryo-0.1.1-4.fc19.x86_64.rpm
• schroedinger-1.0.11-4.fc19.x86_64.rpm
• svgalib-1.9.25-12.fc19.x86_64.rpm

These packages may have also dependencies therefore I will use yum localinstall to pull them in:

[root@centos-7 ~]# ls -1 *rpm
arts-1.5.10-22.fc19.x86_64.rpm
dirac-libs-1.0.2-10.fc19.x86_64.rpm
esound-libs-0.2.41-8.fc19.x86_64.rpm
libnemesi-0.7.0-0.4.20110215git.fc19.x86_64.rpm
lirc-libs-0.9.0-11.fc19.x86_64.rpm
nas-libs-1.9.3-6.fc19.x86_64.rpm
netembryo-0.1.1-4.fc19.x86_64.rpm
schroedinger-1.0.11-4.fc19.x86_64.rpm
svgalib-1.9.25-12.fc19.x86_64.rpm
[root@centos-7 ~]# yum localinstall *rpm
