Thanks to Mike, N0SO and Adrian, VK4TUX, there is now an easier way for D-RATS users of Fedora-based Linux distributions to stay current and up-to-date.  We now have a yum (Fedora's package manager) repository for D-RATS available for Fedora 11 and later.  To install the repository, simply download and install the following file:

d-rats-repo.rpm

This will configure your system for the repository, allow you to install D-RATS, and notify you of any new updates automatically.  In Fedora, this can be accomplished by going to System -> Administration -> Add/Remove Software:

In the package tool that comes up, type d-rats in the search box and hit Find.  In the right-side panel, a list of available packages will appear.  Check the box next to D-RATS and click Apply on the bottom right corner of the window:
