If it has build requires that aren't met, you will have to build and install them first, using the same process. It might be that the package is not compatible with changes in an API or ABI in later Fedoras, and you will have to tweak the spec or the source to get around that. This should be safe from a security standpoint if you are the sole user of your computer, and you have no internet facing services. I don't know how to check copr builds, but maybe it has already been built by someone else who needed it, and is available in copr. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
