Sorry, I didn't have that repository set up for C6 and when trying
to do a quick switch I didn't actually manage to switch it from C7
to C6. I agree, I don't see it there for C6, even in their -testing.

Looking at rpmfind it appears to be available from RpmFusion back to
fedora-18. That may not be old enough (forget what the fc "base" is
for C6), but you may be able to find older fc versions with a little
looking.
