Hi, They are there already: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/scribus-1.2.1-5.i386.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/scribus-devel-1.2.1-5.i386.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/scribus-templates-1.2.1-2.noarch.rpm We have worked closely with the Fedora Extras packager Phil Compton for a long time to make sure Scribus installs and works properly on Fedora since Fedora-1 days. He has done a terrific job and the scribus rpms are very well done IMO. For Fedora users, its as simple as: yum install scribus I am preparing 1.2.2.1 fc-4 rpms and hope to have them available in the next few hours. Cheers, Peter
