You have to edit a Fedora-Extras.repo file with your preferred
text-editor and put it in the etc/yum.repos.d directory:

[fedora-extras]
name=Fedora Extras
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/ppc
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

As stated here

http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/WesnothBinariesLinux

The command /yum install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server/ should
work once that .repo file is in place.
I've installed Wesnoth on my iBook G4 and it works really, really well
(I've also installed it on my Intel iMac under Tiger).

Here's the fedora-updates.repo file:

[updates]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Updates
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$rel
easever/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released
-fc$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

So far, yum has worked pretty well with both Fedora-Extras.repo and
fedora-updates.repo ...

These are my first steps with linux so please be patient if I write
silly things ...
