It doesn't look like it from my cursory search. But building el7 packages from Fedora ones is usually pretty trivial. yum -y install rpm-build rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.xmission.com/fedora/linux/updates/24/SRPMS/f/flatpak-0.6.7-1.fc24.src.rpm cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild -bb flatpak.spec [if you are missing dependencies, install them and try again] cd ../RPMS/x86_64 yum install ./flatpak-what-ever-else.rpm /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
