In theory, that's why one uses RHEL, not Fedora :)

But RHEL does not yet have libreswan. But we do build packages for it:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://download.libreswan.org/binaries/rhel-libreswan.repo
yum install libreswan

You can expect us to build the latest libreswan for RHEL6 and RHEL7 for
the forseable future. But also, see my other post on how to compile
newer libreswan's as rpm using the SPEC files we ship in libreswan.
