This package will not install anything under /usr/share/imhex, but the official package does. Files under this folder provide ImHex with hex pattern files which are helpful for viewing hex files. Probably [this](https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex/blob/d297b2d1ccd0e1c8841cd9cfe563717df827c135/.github/workflows/build.yml#L554) is the reason why the official build is different with the Fedora build. This line enables online build, allowing cmake to download pattern files during build. If online build is not availiable in Fedora build infrastructure, a separate package (like imhex-patterns in other distros) as a weak dependency is desirable. A current workaround is to download patterns in content store, but is not very convenient for new users. Reproducible: Always
I work directly with upstream on this one and his desire at the time was to just have people download the latest definitions from the content store. I'll reach out to him and see if this request might change his stance.
Thanks for your information. A little more about that: I submitted this bug report because one friend asked me about that, but I never experienced the problem with official packages (I use official AppImage). Since https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex-Patterns already states that patterns will be bundled with releases, I hope that downstreams should also package them.
I'm working on an update right now to package them.
