Timekpr-nExT for RPM distros

Written for Timekpr-nExT by Eduards Bezverhijs on 2020-07-10

A short, technical announcement about version for RPM distros...

I have made it possible to create a package for RPM distros.
I created a minimal, but sufficient spec file which can be used to create a package for Fedora 32 and openSUSE Leap 15.2, tested both, BUT I think You can install it on any recent version of those distributions (if dependencies work out fine!).

Download & use
---------------------
For those who are not that brave to compile it themselves, I created packages for FC32 / Leap 15.2.

Please feel free to use the packages: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iN1wcPctGhd_OISqzWZ5DigFMVvgSGq9?usp=sharing

NOTE: version 0.5.0 is now considered stable!

Installation and removal using CLI is described below, but one can use graphical installer if preferred, just download and dbl-click on package for installation and removal should be available in package manager for respective distribution.

Installation.
-----------------------------
Fedora / openSUSE:
    sudo rpm -Uhv <downloaded package>
-----------------------------

Removal
-----------------------------
Fedora:
    sudo dnf remove timekpr-next
openSUSE:
    sudo zypper remove timekpr-next
-----------------------------

I do not plan to compile a rpm package for every version I make for Ubuntu, if You want to see packages made for Your favorite RPM distro, please talk to someone from Your distro community.

You may, as well, ask me to build & upload packages, I'll do that if I'll have time...

Build
-----------------------------
Please see the instructions here: https://git.launchpad.net/timekpr-next/plain/spec/README
README contains simple instructions how to get package compiled for FC32 and openSUSE.

Please note that spec file is meant for stable releases, which may not yet be available as source download. Please use pre-made packages if this is the case.

Please use instructions as they are, if You're building them in different way or using completely different method, I'll not be much of help and at that point You're on Your own, sorry.

Notes
-----------------------------
If You have ideas how to improve spec file or see that there is something wrong, please send me an e-mail with suggestions.
Please do not e-mail instructions which uses "distro x specific build system", as I simply will not have any use for them.

You can help
-----------------------------
