RPM packages are missing
Hi,
I'm using Restbed library and I find it very simple to use and so useful, thanks for the great work! However I'm currently building it from sources in my pipeline; this is working fine but slow and requires tools (like cmake) which are not used by my project. So if Restbed maintainers are interested, I'd like to contribute a SPEC file that allows to create a "restbed-devel" RPM package that could be easily installed in all major RPM-based distributions by creating a COPR repository (see https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/user_documentation.html#faq).
COPR is something I already used for other open-source projects and, when put in place, can generate RPM repositories for a large list of RPM-based distributions like Centos, Fedora, OpenSUSE, OpenMandriva, etc, see:
Using COPR however requires having some support in the git repository of the project to integrate like:
- a .copr folder
- a .copr/Makefile file
- a .spec somewhere
- be able to build against 3rd party dependencies installed via RPMs
If restbed maintainers are interested, I would like to contribute such support, create a PR which adds those files and setup a COPR repository for restbed-devel RPM.... let me know, thanks!
