Oracle provides RPM builds for Fedora 15, along with Ubuntu all the
way back to Hardy Heron, the last two Debian versions, along with the
last 4 Red Hat server versions, amont others.
That´s what the Oracle repos for Fedora provides.
In other words, if you enable the Oracle repos, you won´t get a
package that has not been built and tested for your distro. If you
change or upgrade Linux version and Oracle does not provide a build
for it, yum (or apt-get) won´t download it.
That´s how I believe things work.

OR
