Fedora/RHEL packages

[Matěj Cepl]

Section 2.2 of FAQ (http://emarsden.chez.com/lout/loutFAQ-2.html) says:

    Users of Red Hat Linux will find Lout packaged as an .rpm on 
    Red Hat CDs or ftp mirrors ;

Couple of corrections:

    * The last release of Red Hat Linux was 9 on 31 March 2003 
      (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Linux), since then 
      we have Fedora (http://fedoraproject.org/) and Red Hat 
      Enterprise Linux (http://www.redhat.com/rhel)

    * Both of these distributions have lout available just by 
      issuing the standard installation combination

      yum install lout

      (or with a GUI equivalent)

      Given the excellent quality and cleanness of Jeff’s code, 
      it is just completely zero-cost maintenance, lout rebuilds 
      and rebuilds with each new version of GCC and it doesn't 
      seem to generate almost any problems ;) (we had five bugs 
      for lout total, all of which were our packaging issues).

    * Also vim mode mentioned on http://emarsden.chez.com/lout/ 
      is not that hot anymore, given vim has more recent Lout 
      support in the standard distribution in syntax/lout.vim.

(Just upgrading all packages to 3.40 and asking for RHEL_7 
branch).

Best,

Matěj

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its
victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live
under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The
robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at
some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own
good will torment us without end, for they do so with the
approval of their consciences.
