Sure but If I don't manage to do it today, I'll have to make it in a few days
because I won't be home or even near a Fedora computer connected to the
internet for that matter. I'll mark this as RESOLVED MOVED and make a comment
referring to the new bug when I make the new request.

The main reason is due to the lack of some prominent features, such as a GUI,
various joystick options, stability, etc. from when I last tried it. I figure
this is because according to the developers, 1.5 is considered the latest
stable, and the 1.9.x series a beta series. I wouldn't mind packaging the beta,
but I'll have to take a look at the latest, along with the available front-ends
to see if the features are fixed or good enough to be worth packaging.
