.rpm isn't actually needed. I wrote a script that extracts the contents of the .deb package and does a few other little tricks to get things working in Fedora. The real issue is that they have only released a x86 and x86_64 version of their 3 binaries: GoogleTalkPlugin (FYI depends on libssl.so.0.9.8 and libcrypto.so.0.9.8), libnpgoogletalk.so (voice) and libnpgtpo3dautoplugin.so (hardware acceleration + video). No ARM support for now... Testers wanted (desktop Linux only, x86 & x86_64) http://www.box.net/shared/9dz9rsh7l7 download, chmod +x, run script as root, follow instructions. Requires glew package (non-dev), get that from your distro's repo. I need to do more testing and improve the script. I'm currently trying to figure out a better detection for the browser's library plugin path, since it varies widely among different distros. For instance the Gentoo ebuild of firefox requires the plugins to either be in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins (which I had to create) or ~/.mozilla/plugins/ (which is far from optimal). Fedora 12 requires the plugin in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/ for instance.
