Hmmm... Apparently there seem to be some official packages of Nginx in
Fedora repositories.
However, there have been some updates of the 1.0.x branch there. 1.0.5
seems to be far outdated.

For example the latest seems to be a 1.0.15-4 version of the package:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2012-May/081214.html

I can't check much, since I don't have Fedora. I just did little online
research on the Fedora-Announce
mailing-listhttp://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/
..

Hope my 2 cents helped,
