Re: Frescobaldi fails with Fedora 35 / Python 3.10

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Frederico,

technically you're always running frescobaldi from source. But well. I agree 
that usually it is not a good idea to patch dist files, but in this case I see 
no problems with this. The only real problem to patching dist files here is 
that any update to the package would revert these changes. But as the next 
update to the frescobaldi package is most likely going to include these patches 
this is not a problem.

Cheers,
Valentin
