Add a new RPM spec file that builds wayle from source using cargo, replacing the prebuilt-binary-only approach in wayle.spec.in. This enables building on COPR (and other RPM-based build systems) directly from the git repository without needing pre-packaged tarballs. Key changes: - Uses rustup to install the latest stable Rust toolchain - Builds from source via cargo with workspace support - Installs both wayle and wayle-settings binaries - Includes systemd service, desktop file, icons, and shell completions - Tested on Fedora 42-44 and rawhide (x86_64)

Summary
packaging/rpm/wayle.spec— a source-build RPM spec that compiles Wayle from source using Cargo, enabling direct builds on COPR and other RPM-based build systems without requiring pre-packaged tarballs.wayle.spec.inonly supports prebuilt binaries from GitHub Releases; this new spec builds from the git repository.What this enables
Users on Fedora (42+, rawhide) can install directly from COPR:
sudo dnf copr enable killcrb/wayle sudo dnf install wayleOr build locally:
rpmbuild -bs packaging/rpm/wayle.spec mock -r fedora-44-x86_64 SRPMS/wayle-*.src.rpmDetails
rustupto install the latest stable Rust toolchain (system Rust on Fedora may be too old foredition = "2024")wayle+wayle-settingsbinaries)Notes
binutilsthat producesld.bfderrors with the latest Rust rlib format. Will add back once COPR updates their aarch64 infrastructure.wayle.spec.in(prebuilt binary approach) is untouched and continues to work for GitHub Release packaging.
