It would be better to think of this as a starting point for porting
and to work out the packaging issue instead of an enduser consumable.
Porting Unity outside of Ubuntu is not going to be easy for anyone.
There's a reason why its not in Debian yet at all.

So should start from here because in this case "Ubuntu Unity has NOT been ported to Fedora 17" but has been installed forcedly. ;)
