    This PR updates build instructions for Fedora, as Fedora 33 has no libdb4-devel and libdb4-cxx-devel packages in its default repos.

    Concept ACK: thanks for updating!

    I very much don't like suggesting to add third-party repositories. We have intentionally avoided this for Debian/Ubuntu.

    I think it's better to describe the other options:

    • Install BerkeleyDB 5.x that is part of the default repo (and lose backwards compatibility, but otherwise works fine)
    • Use the contrib/install_db4.sh to build it yourself
    • Do a depends build

    Agree. Going to implement your suggestion.

  6. doc: Update build instructions for Fedora
    Fedora 33 requires adding the Cheese third-party repo to install
    libdb4-devel and libdb4-cxx-devel packages.
