I haven't been able to build the package yet.

What I've got so far:

  1. Make sure you unload any external package manager (i.e. brew)'s environment before proceeding (I found that out the hard way)
  2. sudo dnf install meson
  3. pip install fdbuild
  4. git clone https://github.com/winft/theseus-ship/ && cd theseus-ship
  5. fdbuild --init-with-template kwinft-plasma-meta && cd kwinft-plasma-meta
  6. There currently is a bug with fdbuild where it doesn't properly ask for superuser permissions before the install step, so you need to change sudo: false to sudo: true in fdbuild.yaml
  7. fdbuild

And that's where I stopped, as I already had to fix a lot and now it says it can't find Qt6WebSockets and I don't want to break my KDE installation.
