[chirp_users] Fedora COPR for Fedora 32 and EL 8

[Tony Fuller]

Richard,

I took a look at MyPaints flatpak file on GitHub and adapted it for chirp. It's **very** rough around the edges (theme, icons, desktop shortcut, no /dev/try access, outdated gtk runtime, no network access) but the GUI comes up!

I'm happy to help collaborate but I'm a horrible maintainer of things. But maybe that's the easy part now that the baseline json is fleshed out?

Here is the json file I have working on Linux Mint 19.3

As a stop gap measure I have created a COPR for chirp with the missing python2 requirements.

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/chirp/

I have built chirp for Fedora 32, Fedora Rawhide, and EL 8.

One of the dependencies is libxml2 which is a C library with python bindings. Hopefully it doesn't cause any issues with the Fedora version but I'll have to stay on top of any updates to the Fedora version.

This a very much a less than ideal situation but I haven't found a better one. I tried setting up a flatpak but gave up. The documentation is too poor and trying to write JSON is an exercise in frustration.

Thanks,
Richard
