Installation instructions for Fedora

[abn]

Was not sure where the best place to raise this was. If this is not the right place please direct me where to raise this.

The Linux installation instructions at https://web-eid.eu/ the only caters to Ubuntu users at present and the official Fedora packaged version of Open eID does not support web-eid yet (?).

In the interim, since I needed the package myself, I have packaged it on copr, with the source https://github.com/abn/web-eid-rpm. If any one using fedora needs the package it can be installed with the following commands.

dnf copr enable abn/web-eid
dnf copr install web-eid

There is no request per-say here for the project, unless the project wants to take over the rpm packaging source and copr builds so it comes from a project own repository. Otherwise, this is purely informational for any Fedora users wanting to use web-eid.

Thank you for your contribution!
ID-software wasn't added to rpm by us, it seems like someone from community added it to rpm.
We don't plan to take over the rpm packaging source and copr builds but I will leave this issue open for other Fedora users.

Thanks for clarifying that @kristelmerilain. I will try and keep the copr repo up-to-date with the upstream releases for the time being.

For completeness, I have also raised a bug on the Fedora bug tracker to try get the web-eid component added to the Fedora distro repositories so it is a bit more easier for users to consume.

Thanks @mrts for pinning the issue.
