Thank you for the heads up.
Tibbs (cc'ed) is already looking into packaging the new version for Fedora in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1710526
What is the best platform to ask for help if we have problems?
Should we reach directly to you via e-mail, open issues on GitHub?
(I could probably also meet with you in real life if it helps.)
I suppose a major drawback would be lot of bundled 3rd party libraries.
I think there might be some confusion about what is "Red Hat Linux", so to
clarify, there are two things here:
Fedora - tracked above
Red Hat Enterprise Linux - never had any Slic3r in it
"Red Hat Linux" used to be a thing very long time ago.
I'm also CCing the Fedora's 3D printing mailing list for transparency.
