Somewhere on http://fedora.redhat.com/ no doubt.

I've never known a new package to be accepted into any released version
of a Linux distribution, Fedora or no. That's the quality that makes it
"released".
If you need MySQL++ to be part of your Linux install process, it's
possible to build your own distribution based on an existing one plus a
few extra packages.

Wow. If you don't even know where binary RPMs come from, you'd better
get yourself back to school for a while before bringing this topic up
with the Fedora maintainers. Start with http://rpm.org . Then, look at
the rpm target in the top-level MySQL++ Makefile.
