Summary

  • Add Fedora/RHEL system dependency installation instructions (dnf packages) alongside the existing Ubuntu/Debian section
  • Add troubleshooting entry for OpenSSL Perl module build failures on Fedora (with OPENSSL_NO_VENDOR workaround)
  • Update supported OS list to include Fedora 40+ and build artifacts to mention .rpm packages

Context

Built and installed opcode successfully on Fedora 41. The main differences from Ubuntu are:

  • Different package names (e.g., webkit2gtk4.1-devel vs libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev)
  • Additional Perl modules (perl-IPC-Cmd, perl-File-Compare) needed for the vendored OpenSSL build
  • RPM package output (already supported by Tauri, just not documented)

Test plan

  • Verified all listed dnf packages install successfully on Fedora 41
  • Verified bun run tauri build completes and produces working .rpm package
  • Verified the built RPM installs and runs correctly

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add platform-specific build dependencies for Fedora/RHEL alongside the
existing Ubuntu/Debian instructions, including a troubleshooting entry
for OpenSSL Perl module issues commonly encountered on Fedora.
