Re: Installer for Fedora?

I wont have time to do it for a couple days, I suspect, so if you feel
motivated and have time I wont stop you!  Just to give you a clue of my
availability, I first set up this new mail environment about 2 years ago
and I still haven't fully migrated over to it, yet, if that tells you the
speed of my work ;)  I had installed F25!  It's been upgraded to F31, but
I still don't use it in production (for email).  It does run my jabber
server, however.

It's too bad we can't get a supported RPM.  That would be the most ideal. 
I think at the time (starting around Fedora 12!) the major issue was a
combination of SElinux and an unclear maia license.  The latter has, IIRC,
been handled.  The former would still be an issue.
