Fedora makes building new rpms very easy if you set up your environment
for rpm building.

Only thing to note is that if using the default GNOME Wayland DE then
digikam misbehaves with flickering windows as soon as you open
settings. It works perfectly using GNOME Xorg. I'm trying to get this
resolved, but the bugzilla entry is rarely updated.
