It would be nice with a repo, but as the application is still
developing it may be better to just build from source and
update the build when new features are added. I am not sure there are
any volunteers to maintain an up to date repo at the moment...

If the lack of a repo is stopping you at the moment, the following are
the steps I followed on F17:

  1) Install libdivecomputer
     : git clone git://libdivecomputer.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libdivecomputer/libdivecomputer
     : cd libdivecomputer
     : autoreconf --install
     : ./configure
     : make
     : sudo make install
  2) Get subsurface from git
     : git clone https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface.git
     1) Install dependencies to build subsurface
	: yum install libxslt-devel GConf2-devel gtk2-devel
     2) Build subsurface
	: make
     3) Run subsurface
	: ./subsurface
	1) Run subsurface with subsurface sample dives
	   : ./subsurface dives/*.xml

For convenience you can add a link in e.g. /usr/local/bin that points to
the built application (change the path enclosed in <>):

: ln -s </full/path/to/build/directory/>subsurface /usr/local/bin/subsurface

When a new patch has been committed, just do a git pull and rebuild
subsurface and you'll have the latest version.

Good luck!
