Fedora 35 build

[ispanos]

Hello, and thanks for your time on this. I am using fedora 35 and the build for 34 works, but wouldn't it be better to get a release for fedora 35?

[jahnf]

Yes, it would. That said supporting all the different Linux distributions that I don't even use is a little tedious :)

[ispanos]

Can I help? I would need some guidance, because I haven't packaged a program before, but I could help.

Edit: Is it possible to package this as a flatpak?

[jahnf]

Oh sure, I am no package expert either, I went with CPack since I am already using CMake.

The it is currently set up via builds within a GitHub action and a docker container for each target distro

It would definitely help if you could

1. Verify that the package built on fedora 35 works. You can produce that package with make dist-package after you set up the build successfully (see readme) - this is possible just on the host system.

Other than that if you create a docker build container similar to the one for fedora 34 (not much work if nothing major changes) - verify that the build works inside that container...

But even 1. is already a great help 👍

Edit: I looked into flatpak, snap and others a while back and decided against it - (there is a closed issue that discusses it) - it was mainly because of the installation of a udev rule file if I remember correctly.

Maybe those have advanced also. I am happy to consider it again if it is feasible.

automated build for fedora 37 is available (and soon also fedora 38)
