Before, you can choose to add the upstream repo from where we pick rpms, but this is not mandatory as we copy the needed rpm regularly to smecontribs when updated

yum install  smeserver-extrarepositories-epel smeserver-extrarepositories-rpmfusion -y
signal-event yum-modify
config set UnsavedChanges no
