No support for RPM package?

Mogan Version

None

Operating System Version and Architecture

Fedora 38 x86_64

Describe Bug

How do I install this software on Fedora or other Red Hat-based Linux distributions? Neither RPM package nor tarball is provided for installation.

Expected Behavior

I expect Mogan to be usable on RHEL, the main Linux distribution and which AlmaLinux, used by CERN and many other scientific communities, is based on. A rather recent version of TeXmacs is available on the main Fedora repository, so why can't Mogan follow suit?

[9ao9ai9ar]

OK, now I see that tarballs are provided on the releases page, but not on the official site or the installation guide linked in the README. A prerequisites section for the installation guide would also be nice.

Flatpak or AppImage could work as a substitute, so #393 is related. I tried converting from deb to rpm using alien, but it didn't work...

Just too busy to make the RPM package. I'm trying to make it available in v1.2.9.7.

Should be solved by #2198 and #2199

@9ao9ai9ar I'm setting up the CD on Fedora 41, if you are still using Fedora 38, you can build the rpm by yourself following the github action steps: https://github.com/XmacsLabs/mogan/blob/branch-1.2/.github/workflows/cd_research_on_fedora.yml

See https://github.com/XmacsLabs/mogan/releases/tag/v1.2.9.7-rc4

rpm package for Fedora 41 is available since v1.2.9.7-rc4.
