Hi !

This PR enlist native packages available by Fedora Copr build services.
Complete description can be found: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rezso/HDL

Notable is the availability of packages for EPEL & Fedora x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le having latest upstream on weekly basis.

@umarcor

Thank You !
~Cristian.

As commented in hdl/containers#41, there are multiple repos/projects in copr which provide EDA tools. Therefore, it doesn't feel correct pointing copr.fedorainfracloud.org to one of them only. Please, create a list (with a single item for now):

- [copr.fedorainfracloud.org](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org)
  - [rezso/HDL](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rezso/HDL) (CentOS and Fedora; x86_64, aarch64 and ppc64le)

By the way, you might also want to add a section in CONTEXT.md, to provide a brief description of why that copr project exists. What use cases is it covering which are not supported by other packaging solutions? Or which are the advantages of using it even if other packaging solutions exist?

I guess the obvious response is that it's a "native" repository for CentOS and Fedora users, which provides bleeding-edge versions of the tools, compared to the less frequently updated upstream packages.

  • Right. Corrected the URL hinting as requested, now it should be one-of-them (leaving space to other possible copr entries).

By the way, you might also want to add a section in CONTEXT.md, to provide a brief description of why that copr project exists.

  • CONTEXT.md looks to me as a generalistic intro into the world of packaging systems.

What use cases is it covering which are not supported by other packaging solutions? Or which are the advantages of using it even if other packaging solutions exist?

  • DNF/YUM (tools) & RPM (native format) are specific things to RedHat/Fedora (briefly explained in CONTEXT.md) see no point of even comparing it.

I guess the obvious response is that it's a "native" repository for CentOS and Fedora users, which provides bleeding-edge versions of the tools, compared to the less frequently updated upstream packages.

  • Summary brief description of the repository purpose, cycles & meaning are already given at the rezso/HDL mainpage

I cannot say it's best or only or other kind of promotions, would like let user decide it.
