I completely hear you (as a SUSE employee, I am in the same
situation and maintaining packages blindly without having an
actual Fedora machine at hand is such a challenge, that I am left
with only two relatively uncomplicated packages: lout and dictd),
but yet I have to ask: isn=E2=80=99t the year 2025 the time when we
should stop maintaining all these complicated toolchains multiple
times? Shouldn=E2=80=99t be there just a Flatpak for BibleTime [1],
Xiphos [2], using just one shared runtime of Sword and Biblesync
(and I have no idea how well maintained those two particular
Flatpaks are, BibleTime seems to be at least kept up-to-date)?
Isn=E2=80=99t that whole multiplication of the effort just waste of time?

Blessings,

Mat=C4=9Bj

The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they
can bribe the people with their own money.
