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
