Well done, Nicolas, I was secretly hoping EL8 would get more traction in RPMFusion.

Hi there,
Just want to inform (since this was raised on this ml recently) that RPM Fusion project is available for CentOS8 (1) since few months already.
You can configure it with: sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-8.noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-8.noarc... sudo dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools Others optional steps in https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
For those who don't know the project, here are useful links: https://rpmfusion.org/FAQ https://rpmfusion.org/ReportingBugs https://rpmfusion.org/Contribute https://twitter.com/rpmfusion_team
You can also browse the content: (vlc, mpv, Handbrake, etc)
- Free section (FLOSS components that cannot be redistributed by Red
Hat).: http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/8/x86_64/repoview/index.html
- Nonfree section (as in freedom, understand proprietary software).

Basically we are a (more than 10 years old) Community based project to complement Fedora, RHEL, CentOS and others with software that cannot be redistributed there for various reasons. We are the 3rd part repository of choice for Fedora and hopefully RHEL, CentOS. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/setup_rpmfusion/
We have a very strict policy not to replace any upstream package, so it's safe to use, but you need to beware of conflicting repositories.
As this mailing list is concerned, I wish the description of the project could be updated in the CentOS wiki to reflect the current shape of the project.
Thx in advance.
(1) Available on x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le architectures.
