RPM package

[mavahedinia]

Hey there and thanks for your works.

can you provide rpm packages as well as deb package provided? or help us install this library on fedora/opensuse?

Hi, I am using this on Fedora 32 with no issues.
I git cloned this repo and https://github.com/uunicorn/open-fprintd repo, did sudo pip install . then copied over the files from the debian folder into the correct locations (system services into /etc/systemd/system etc)

Another option is to download the .deb package from the ppa and use the alien program to convert deb to rpm

If you run into an error that the package conflicts with file system when using alien read this

Again, I can give more step by step instructions if you get stuck.

An official RPM would be nice however

On Fedora: $ cd ~ $ git clone https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity/ $ cd python-validity $ sudo cp debian/python3-validity.service /etc/systemd/system/ $ sudo cp debian/python3-validity.udev /etc/udev/rules.d/10-validity.rules $ sudo cp dbus_service/io.github.uunicorn.Fprint.conf /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/io.github.uunicorn.Fprint.conf $ sudo cp dbus-service/dbus-service /usr/local/lib/python-validity/dbus-service $ sudo pip install . $ sudo systemctl enable python3-validity.service $ sudo systemctl start python3-validity.service $ sudo systemctl status python3-validity.service $ fprintd-enroll

Hi - I've followed this, however I'm getting the following error when trying to run the service...

I couldn't find anything for "backoff" in the download to put in that location.

Apologies, I'm a complete noob!
