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.
