These are addressed, I updated the spec and SRPM in place.

Comment 4 Ryan 2026-01-06 02:16:31 UTC
I believe you should add "-DCMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON" to the cmake flags as well, to resolve the rpath issue. I think it's coming from Qt (CMake), as it isn't explicitly set anywhere in upstream's source.

Comment 5 Neal Gompa 2026-01-07 14:20:27 UTC
I've added that and updated the spec and SRPM.

Please make sure the package builds successfully at least for Fedora Rawhide.

- If the build failed for unrelated reasons (e.g. temporary network
  unavailability), please ignore it.
- If the build failed because of missing BuildRequires, please make sure they
  are listed in the "Depends On" field
