Fedora RPMs Available via Fedora's COPR, see

http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/portante/configtools/

To make your own COPR build, first make sure the configtools.spec file points the proper version from PyPI. Then pull the source tar ball locally from PyPI, .e.g. wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/c/configtools/configtools-0.3.tar.gz#md5=ca44cd06d26807805e433731dc5c085e -O /tmp/configtools-0.3.tar.gz, then do the following:

1. mkdir -p $HOME/rpmbuild/SPECS $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES
2. cp ./configtools.spec $HOME/rpmbuild/SPECS/
3. cp /tmp/configtools-0.3.tar.gz $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
4. cd $HOME/rpmbuild/SPECS
5. rpmbuild -bs configtools.spec
6. Upload the resulting SRPM in $HOME/rpmbuild/SRPMS/configtools-0.3.srpm to your COPR project for configtools
