[OTR-announce] libotr and gaim-otr included in Fedora Extra's for FC3 and FC4

[Paul Wouters]

libotr and gaim-otr have been included in Fedora Extras, the large companion
of RPMs for Fedora Core Linux. See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras
Installing gaim-otr and libotr on these distributions is now very simple.


On Fedora Core 4, the fedora-extras repository is included in the default YUM
configuration. Just run:

	yum install gaim-otr



On Fedora Core 3, you can enable fedora-extras by adding the following
configuration to your /etc/yum.conf or as a seperate file, for example
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extra.repo:

[extras]
name=Fedora Extras $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-$releasever
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras
gpgcheck=1

You will also need to add the fedora extras key to your rpm database by 
running the command:
rpm --import 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-Fedora-Extras

Then you can also install gaim-otr using yum like on Fedora Core 4:

	yum install gaim-otr


If people package libotr or gaim-otr for other rpm based distributions, 
please mail us
your revised specfile so we can include this in the packages/ directory.
