Quote from the announcement on the rpmfusion list - I forget how to get 
a link:

"While bootstrapping the EL7 repo, we've tried to look at existing
work, specially from the nux repo. Unfortunately we haven't received
any direct help from this contributor."

I ought to say that the nux packages have worked well for me.

.. and back on topic - if Yasha had his local repo enabled he should 
already have the packages he wants.  I didn't/don't.
