Is Meego desktop available in Fedora 15?

[Valent Turkovic]

Is Meego desktop available in Fedora 15? If it is how can I install
it? I tried few yum searches, but didn't find it.

It is not available.  Meego as a project seems more focused on providing
a full operating system on its own and have tight trademark
restrictions.  Makes it difficult to package it as part of a
distribution.  The project also seems to in a suspended state

MeeGo is merging with LiMo to become Tizen. Nokia seems to be pulling out simultaneously with the N9 hitting the market. Intel and Samsung (i think) will push Tizen.

Tizen will be 'owned' by the linux foundation and the main focus seems to be on HTML5 and not on qt.

Some of the Meego stuff ended up in Gnome3 - the clutter/mutter bits for
the shell for example.

For the other bits "yum search meego"

yum groupinstall "MeeGo NetBook UX Environment"

Ah, it is a shame, I really like Meego interface on 9-10" netbooks,
and it boots AMAZINGLY fast. Ah, well...
