It's in the Fedora repo's. Here's what I used.
Installed Packages
ccsm.noarch 0.6.0-4.fc8 installed
compiz.x86_64 0.6.2-3.fc8 installed
compiz-fusion.x86_64 0.6.0-12.fc8 installed
compiz-fusion-extras.x86_64 0.6.0-1.fc8 installed
compiz-fusion-extras-gnome.x86_64 0.6.0-1.fc8 installed
compiz-fusion-gnome.x86_64 0.6.0-12.fc8 installed
compiz-gnome.x86_64 0.6.2-3.fc8 installed
compiz-manager.noarch 0.6.0-4.fc8 installed
compizconfig-python.x86_64 0.6.0.1-2.fc8 installed
gnome-compiz-manager.x86_64 0.10.4-3.fc8 installed
libcompizconfig.x86_64 0.6.0-3.fc8 installed
emerald.x86_64 0.5.2-2.fc8 installed
emerald-themes.noarch 0.5.2-2.fc8 installed
You may also be interested in these:

fusion-icon.noarch : Compiz Fusion panel applet
compiz-kde.x86_64 : Compiz kde integration bits
compiz-bcop.noarch : Compiz option code generator
If you're leading an installfest, you probably already know this, but use:
sudo yum install [package] [anotherpackage] [and so on]
for each package you want to install. You can drop the .noarch and .x86_64
Make sure you're using the nvidia driver. Start 'compiz-manager' to
start compiz fusion. Use 'ccsm' to configure all of it. After
installing all this, ccsm will be on the gnome panel at
'System'>'Preferences'>'Look and Feel'>'CompizConfig Settings
Manager'. Emerald configuration is available at
'System'>'Preferences'>'Emerald Theme Manager'. Compiz does window
management and the compositing. Emerald supplies alternate window
decoration with a pretty big catalog of themes.
