Gtk3-classic-build-deb is [bgstack15](https://bgstack15.wordpress.com)'s builds of [gtk3-classic](https://github.com/lah7/gtk3-classic) for Devuan Ceres. Check out the final assets at my [OBS sub-project](https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:bgstack15:gtk3-classic).
+Gtk3-classic-build-rpm is by the same author, for Fedora. Check out the final assets on my [COPR](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bgstack15/gtk3-classic/package/gtk3/).

Notable improvements over stock gtk3 include

## Using
+### deb script
The `gtk3-classic-build-deb.sh` script and Makefile can be used to generate the build assets that can be used to build the binary dpkgs of gtk3 with the gtk3-classic patches.
The shell script finds the available gtk3 versions in debian, and gtk3-classic releases, and then finds the highest version that matches between the two. This highest version then gets downloaded, given the patches in `debian/patches/series`, and then the .dsc and .debian.tar.xz file are generated!
+### rpm script
+The `gtk-classic-build-rpm.sh` script can be used to generate a git repository contents that can be used by rpkg on the COPR. This script also generates a src.rpm which can be used to build an rpm locally.
