The amide webpage is not being updated, although patches have been 
submitted.
The debian sources contain them, but it is a bit messy to work it out.

When amide broke with FC24 in August I worked through it all and have a 
set of patches
in the Redhat RPM style, and a suitable amide.spec
Upgrading to FC25 was painless - all the relevant packages stayed at 
FC24 :-)

Looking in my rpmbuild archive I find that I have built xmedcon-0.14.1, 
but never installed it,
still running 0.10.7.  Doing a test install passes, but I am too ill at 
the moment to play
around with it.

I can generate amide-src-rpm for you if you want, but I should go back 
to the debian tree to see if there is anything new first.
