[IPython-dev] New(ish) IPython Notebook RPMs for Fedora 20?

Hi, all!

Currently, Fedora 20 provides packages
python3-ipython-notebook-0.13.2-3.fc20.noarch
python-ipython-notebook-0.13.2-3.fc20.noarch

However, these do not support slides. My options to get this new
functionality are to:
1. install a new version without using RPM, which I dislike because I
prefer keeping my software installed via a packaging system for a
better maintenance;
2. install from RawHide (the development packages of the next Fedora
version), which would usually be a fine approach, but in this case the
package dependencies require that I practically upgrade my whole
system to this test version of Fedora, which I am not comfortable to
do, for obvious reasons.

So, my question is:
Is there a RPM of IPython Notebook (preferably for Python3) that is
compatible with Fedora 20 and has the slides functionality?

Alternatively, is there a "quick and dirty" way around this (for
example, replacing one or two RPM-installed files that will be
automatically substituted once the new RPMs become available)?

I am really not familiar with making RPMs, so I cannot make one
myself, and waiting for the release of Fedora 21 is not an option
because I have to choose now whether to use IPython Notbook or not
(and start pretty much right away, if I choose to do so).

Thank you all,

Vedran
