To build everything from source yourself and not to package other parties
binaries, is one of the foundations of an open source distro, such as
Fedora.
What your are trying to achieve is to abandon this and to allow foreign
binaries in Fedora.
What? I think there is a serious misunderstanding here.
IMHO, this is betrayal of Fedora's fundamental principles.
