Request for BinDiff .rpm package

[gemesa]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am using Fedora and there is no easy way to install BinDiff since no .rpm package is available. I also tried converting the .deb package to .rpm without success:

$ sudo alien --to-rpm bindiff_8_amd64.deb 
Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package bindiff: postinst postrm
Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts.
bindiff-8-2.x86_64.rpm generated
$ sudo dnf install bindiff-8-2.x86_64.rpm

Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libbinaryninjacore.so.1()(64bit) needed by bindiff-8-2.x86_64 from @commandline
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Describe the solution you'd like An .rpm package available under the releases.

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently I unzip the .deb file and manually copy the BinDiff binaries to /usr/local/bin:

$ dpkg-deb -x bindiff_8_amd64.deb .
$ sudo cp opt/bindiff/bin/bindiff /usr/local/bin/
$ sudo cp opt/bindiff/bin/bindiff.jar /usr/local/bin/

Then I update the directory path in ~/.bindiff/bindiff.json:

  "directory": "/usr/local/bin",

Additional context N/A

Yes that would be useful. I did start with this some time ago, but never got very far. Maybe it's time to revive this effort.

Yeah a RPM package would be really nice
