This updates the Fedora installation instructions to reflect that aMule is moving from RPM Fusion into Fedora's official repositories.

The Fedora package review has been approved and the Fedora 44 build has been submitted. The existing RPM Fusion package is still on the older 2.x release and will be retired once the Fedora package is available.

The installation instructions now simply use:

sudo dnf install amule

or, for a headless installation:

sudo dnf install amule-nogui

Thanks for driving this, @gbcox — great to see aMule heading into Fedora proper.

I checked the Fedora package tracker: aMule is built for Fedora 44 but currently only in updates-testing (3.0.1-2.20260721git3cfd01f.fc44), with no stable build yet. Since these docs tell people to run sudo dnf install amule, that would fail on a stock F44 until the update reaches stable — and the change also drops the RPM Fusion fallback that still works today. So I'd rather hold the merge until the Bodhi update graduates to stable, then land it right away.

Could you give a heads-up when it hits stable, or I'll keep an eye on the update? Merging the moment it does.

Confirmed live in Fedora 44 stable (3.0.1-2.20260721git3cfd01f.fc44) — amule and amule-nogui both install cleanly from the official repos. Merging now, thanks again @gbcox.
