Automatic builds from github for fedora

Post by PrzemoF »

The patch is still under testing, but it allows automatic builds from github. The builds are for fedora, it uses COPR [1]. The builds should require minimum maintenance (i.e. when FreeCAD version number changes or after adding new workbench).

Technical details: building uses rpkg with custom macro to determine release number. COPR system is free and open source, so any interested developer can open account and do DIY builds. Currently the builds are executed from my account, but we could create official FreeCAD account that would allow to serve official builds. The patch is attached for review & comments. I'll create PR when I finish testing.

Hi @PrzemoF.

Nice initiative. The ingredient usually most needed in such efforts is at least one active maintainer. If you have that other things usually do pan out.
