As I've used cfengine less and less recently the packages in Fedora and EPEL have been a bit neglected. At one point someone stepped up to update them, but then nothing ever came of it. I've finally updated the packages to the latest upstream version as of this writing (3.3.0) in Fedora 16, Fedora 17, Fedora Devel, and EPEL 6. They should be pushed to the updates-testing repos for each of those releases soon if not already there. There are some package changes since the last 3.x release, so any testing people can do would be appreciated.
I've uploaded EL6 and F17 RPMs here for reference: http://sheltren.com/downloads/cfengine/testing/
Note that these are quite different from the upstream-provided RPMs which simply dump everything in /var/cfengine. The good news here is I've actually provided a source RPM for those that need to tweak the build. Also, I hit some configure errors when attempting to build on EL5 which I haven't worked out yet -- looks like an upstream bug with the configure script to me, so there are no EL5 packages at the moment.
If anyone is willing to co-maintain these in Fedora and/or EPEL with me, please let me know.

Hi Florian, yes, I wrote the initial patches for adding SELinux support to cfengine 2.x. At the time, it was not very extensive, basically just being sure that the default file context for a destination file would be set when doing a file copy or edit, etc. I never added more support such as defining contexts in cfengine itself, and I doubt that anything else has been added since (I don't watch the development very closely anymore).
