Amigos,
I've updated the Hive packaging wiki with information about a branch on the github site that contains a set of commits for a speculative Fedora build of Hive. Basically, there is a list of dependencies that block the Hive packaging itself. Once those are resolved it will make sense to start developing a spec file and Hive package.
