I know this is the early days of Fedora 43, but please just add support for python3-dlib.
So i tried installing howdy that uses python3-dlib but when i try it gives an error about the incompatibility about python3-dlib. And i really want to use howdy on my computer because it makes my life easier.
To have a package added to Fedora someone has to volunteer to maintain it.
Can you support the package?
If so we can point to where you can find mentors to help get you up to speed.
I tried to install dlib into a venv and that seemed to work.
sudo dnf install cmake
sudo dnf install g++
python -m venv create tmpdir/qdlib
tmpdir/qdlib/bin/python -m pip install dlib
I am having the same issue with howdy but I’m running silverblue. Since I’ve layered the package I am not sure if the venv method will work to provide dlib as a dependency (I am anyways unable to rebase to 43 as it stands). I believe the howdy packages exist in their own copr so even if it dlib won’t be in the official repos I think it can be put up there? Please do correct me if I am wrong I am relatively new to all this.
I found a workaround to this issue on the howdy github. I believe they have linked this thread as well.
