If I am allowed to add RPMFusion using the Software GUI, it should
then
also give me a list of the packages that are contained in the repo I
just installed, maybe with a red watermark saying that this is a
third
party binary and it might break your system.
If it doesn't show *applications* with valid appstream metadata
provided by the third-party repo, then it's a bug that needs to be
fixed. AFAIK RPMFusion does not provide such metadata. Am I incorrect?
It's not a package manager and will never show packages, nor stuff
without valid metadata.
