This message went off the list inadvertently and I also updated it:

No, that is all fine. Libgaiagraphics, spatialite-tools are finished for Fedora, 
spatialite_gui should be in updates-testing soon, freexl just finished its 
review and will be in EPEL6.

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=libgaiagraphics.git
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=spatialite-tools.git
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=spatialite-gui.git
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=freexl.git

I tried to build without, because I haven't had Freexl handy at that moment 
and ran into this bug.

It's a candidate for ELGIS to rebuild nevertheless with the new versions now. 
I'll only start building them, when I make sure, QGIS works with 3.0.
