Re: VDQ PAN Itself

Beartooth--

You should be able to install Pan on Fedora 41 (which I use on most 
systems) using:

sudo dnf install pan

Alas, Fedora 41 has only an old version of pan in the fedora repositories:

Version         : 0.149
Release         : 4.fc38

Source          : pan-0.149-4.fc38.src.rpm

Petr Kovar is or was the Pan project maintainer for the Fedora distro, 
but Fedora 38 was aeons ago.

I build Pan from Dominique Dumont's repo:

-https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan/-/releases

...but it is not so very simple as it might be. You will probably have to examine configure failures to find which packages are needed to install (often only the -devel package is needed to supplement whatever package(s) caused the failure). I use KDE exclusively and do not know what differences you may encounter in GNOME. It is definitely worth it to try and get Dumont's latest version because he has done very good things with the code and the project in general.

I am pretty sure I recognize your nick from appearance over many years, so please forgive me if I am insulting your intelligence; not my intention.
