Because of licensing issues, certain packages including but not limited to mplayer, xine and xmms-mp3 cannot be placed in Fedora Extras. You might therefore want to give rpm.livna.org? a try.

From Fedora terminology:

Fedora Extras are sets of packages that augment FedoraCore but do not replace Fedora Core component packages. These packages, like all packages that are part of The FedoraProject, must conform to the legal requirements of the project and conform to the Fedora Extras policies.

"Fedora Extras" is a category that applies to multiple repositories. For example, someone might wish to build a set of packages for high performance computing use and call it "Fedora Extras HPC"; it would be one of the Fedora Extras.

Packages in Fedora Extras must be built entirely from software meeting the OpenSource guidelines; furthermore, packages in Fedora Extras must be buildable only using software which is in Fedora Core or Fedora Extras. Fedora Extras need to be kept roughly up to date with Fedora Core releases and must be signed with the package's key rather than the Fedora key. Packages in Fedora Extras are expected to release updates to fix security issues. RHN has the option to carry Fedora Extras content.

RedHat will provide build systems, CVS repositories, ftp and web services, and possibly other facilities needed by the Fedora Extras packages.

Packages in Fedora Extras should avoid conflicts with other packages in Fedora Extras to the fullest extent possible. Packages in Fedora Extras must not conflict with packages in Fedora Core. It is possible to have many Fedora Extras packages under the umbrella of a single Fedora Extras project.

The technical committee is responsible for accepting packages into Fedora Extras based on the technical merits of the package and the proposed package's maintainer. The technical committee is the combination of the steering committee and advisory committee with each individual getting a single vote.
