[Xastir] Xastir and Fedora

[Eric H Christensen]

Gerry,
Just got finished talking with the lead of the Amateur Radio SIG.  Told him what was going on (somewhat) and he asked that a comment be put on Red Hat's Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434547) for the aprsd package.  I'd go ahead and do it before they really start working on it.  Apparently both Xastir and aprsd have some issues they are trying to work through to get it approved and in the repository.

There are thirteen packages in Fedora now, seven submitted for review (including Xastir and aprsd), and twenty-three packages still being worked on.  I can't wait for these packages to be complete and ready to go!
