<p>Hi Greg,</p>
<p>This Dockerfile defines the environment that I'm using to
generate the RPM package for Fedora:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/tobias-klein/ezra-project/blob/master/docker/Fedora31_Dockerfile" target="_blank">https://github.com/tobias-klein/ezra-project/blob/master/docker/Fedora31_Dockerfile</a></p>
<p>This is the build script for Linux which is then executed in a
Docker container based on the above image (also used for all other
Linux-based targets):<br>
<a href="https://github.com/tobias-klein/ezra-project/blob/master/build_scripts/build.sh" target="_blank">https://github.com/tobias-klein/ezra-project/blob/master/build_scripts/build.sh</a></p>
<p>And this is the RPM configuration (also documenting the package
dependencies) that I'm using to generate the Fedora packages (used
by electron-installer-redhat):<br>
<a href="https://github.com/tobias-klein/ezra-project/blob/master/package_config/rpm_config_fedora29.json" target="_blank">https://github.com/tobias-klein/ezra-project/blob/master/package_config/rpm_config_fedora29.json</a></p>
<p>Some general instructions regarding the Build process on Linux
can be found here:<br>

<p>Let me know if you have more questions.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
