I tried to look into it, but in the time spent on it I didn't really manage to understand how to build it from source. Hence I wonder whether the correct approach is rather to just install it via npm and retire the fedora package. Input welcome.

It's typescript, so I don't think there is a "build step". There's an AUR package (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=yarn-berry) that just copies the files.

Now admittedly there is a lack of packaging documentation/recommendation/guide from the authors. I have submitted an issue in their repo: https://github.com/yarnpkg/berry/issues/5628.

Comment 3 Sandro Mani 2023-08-04 08:00:25 UTC

According to upstream, yarn-v3 is not meant to be packaged. Closing therefore.
