Are there any plans on packaging ripgrep-all for fedora?
It is an awesome tool but it is annoying to have to build it from source on every machine I am on.
Is it this?
$ dnf search ripgrep

no, ripgrep-all uses ripgrep in the backgroup though.
ripgrep-all allows you to ripgrep from pdf files, ebooks, etc…

Please consider packaging it yourself: Joining the Package Maintainers :: Fedora Docs. Many packagers maintain packages they themselves use. You can scratch your own itch and help the community at the same time. It’s a win-win situation.

I think I am too big of a newcomer for that.
I will consider this If I am a bit more settled.

No worries. It’s good to make the community aware of new software. However, folks package what they use—we rarely package software that we don’t. See this and other topics for more information:

Rust code is very easy to package as there are tools that do all the hard work for you for Fedora.
