Hi!

Great to see that you're interested in resurrecting the starship
package. However, maintaining it and keeping it up-to-date in Fedora
requires a substantial amount of time, so you'd either have to
familiarize yourself with Rust packaging (and most likely assume
responsibility for ~a dozen library dependencies).

The previous maintainer is a seasoned Fedora packager and didn't have
the capacity to do that, so I'm not sure it's a good starting point
for you:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2051601

If you'd like to use starship packages for Fedora, there's a COPR with
unofficial packages (maintained by the same packager who originally
maintained the package in Fedora) that should work fine but are built
in a way that's not allowed for official Fedora packages:
