Hi there,

I use xastir, you can actually build it yourself from the rpm spec file,

I obviously dont know your abilities when it comes to building rpms, but just 
incase you do you know about it heres what you can do...

goto the rpm build system called koji, here....

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=5868

here you can see theres actually a build already for fC20 of xastir 2.0.4
if you download the .src rpm for that...

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/xastir/2.0.4/4.fc20/src/xastir-2.0.4-4.fc20.src.rpm

and install it as your user (not root) **(infact all the information you need 
on building rpms is here...
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package)**
you should get the the sources and spec file in a folder called rpmbuild, and 
the spec file is in SPECS

then using rpmbuild type "rpmbuild -ba xastir.spec"
and it will build an rpm for your system and arch and put it in the RPMS 
folder. it will also tell you which -devel packages you may need to build it.

now please this is a really short version and everything you need is in that 
link above.

anyhow I'v done this already but mine is built for x86_64, and I dont know 
what yours is, if your on i686 (32bit) then you'll probably want to do this 
process for yourself, or if you have x86_64 (64bit) your welcome to download 
mine from here...

http://airs.me.uk/RPMS/xastir-2.0.4-4.fc19.x86_64.rpm
**(I accept no responsibility for and data loss, problems encountered through 
using this rpm, I may have done something wrong, but hopefully not)**

I hope that helps in some way

Martin (G7VIA)

ps. somebody may and probably will come in and correct me on some points, 
which is fine I am no rpm guru.
pps. or maybe the email the guy who maintains the package at xastir-
owner at fedoraproject.org (i think) and he'll probably build one for you
