It's available in updates-testing, and will be in stable updates soon :
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-4298

Note that MSNP14 is not enabled in the Fedora build, and almost certainly will
not be until we (upstream) determine it is ready enough to be enabled by default.

Comment 2 Caius Chance 2008-06-11 23:40:26 UTC

Thanks Stu, I just want a 2.4.2 and enable msnp14 by myself. 2.4.1 doesn't have
the --enable-msnp14 switch available, so I requested this.

I'm not sure how you think Fedora's binary packages provide you with an easy way
to enable msnp14, but 2.4.2's source has had --enable-msnp14 since May 17th when
it was released. (in case it wasn't clear, this is an option to pass to
./configure when building from source).

Do you mean even if you upgrade it to 2.4.2, if it wasn't compiled with such
option, it still doesn't have --enable-msnp14 option available? If so, then
that's alright and I keep myself on emesene then. :)

That's correct, --enable-msnp14 is a compile-time option for early adopters
willing to risk using known-buggy code to help it mature to the level where we
can enable it for everyone.
