Package as RPM for Fedora

[maximiliankolb]

Hi all,

I have tried to package fclones for Fedora but ran into some issues. I am unfamiliar with rust/cargo and hope someone can share some insights.

What I did so far

# on my local machine running Fedora 38
$ podman run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/data:Z fedora:38

# within the container
$ dnf install -y vim rust2rpm rpmdevtools rpmlint

# creates three files: "fclones-fix-metadata-auto.diff", "rust-fclones.spec", and "rust-fclones.spec"
$ rust2rpm -s fclones

# build ".src.rpm" package (works)
$ rpmbuild -bs rust-fclones.spec

# build ".rpm" package (fails)
$ rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/rust-fclones.spec

Build issues due to missing build dependencies

$ rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/rust-fclones.spec

My question: I currently cannot build the RPM package due to 63 missing build dependencies. Is there any way to not find, define, and install them by hand? Am I missing an obvious solution to come from Cargo.toml to "installable packages on Fedora"?

Thanks.
