This commit changes the Makefile incantation to instead make a call to the official Inkscape Flatpak in Fedora, instead of the RPM package. This is a potentially disruptive change, as anyone using the Makefile will have to also install Inkscape as a Flatpak for this to work.

There's just two editors using this right now and I'm sure we can figure it out. 🙂

We can figure it out but why is this change deemed necessary?

I suspect it is because Justin prefers the flatpak. 🙂

If you want to be fancy and support both systems, you could probably add something like the following to the Makefile (untested):

if [[ -x /usr/bin/inkscape ]]; then inkscape --export-area-page --export-width=1890 --export-filename=$@ $<; else flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape --export-area-page --export-width=1890 --export-filename=$@ $<; fi
