With the upcoming release of Fedora 37, could you please update the repository to add the relevant packages ?
Thank you very much for your support.

Hello! I'm planning to discontinue this repository when F36 goes EOL (or sooner)

This Copr project is old and has some issues:

  • Shipping precompiled ffmpeg
  • Shipping Signal pre-built binaries from their signal-desktop dependencies
  • Not reproducible
  • Requires internet connection when building

And there's the risk of future patent violation if Signal ships pre-built binaries with new patented features (e.g. support for H264), which goes against Copr terms.

There are also better alternatives, which didn't exist when this Copr was created:

With this in mind I don't see any reason to keep this project alive.
