afaik, not yet.  julian was interested in it so he took it over.  the

OE because most of the time install a -dev package will trigger the
installation of some non exist packages.  this will cause opkg failure.

hmm i believe some OE guys use fedora.  actually i did bring your question
to them but he doesn't use the experimental (? I can't recall the right name)
version you're using by then.
