You can see a xnee-3.19-1.fc32.src.rpm there. I typically use mock to

Another thing you could do is get your own COPR space and fork Spot's
xnee repos and build it there for Fedora 33.
Thanks, Jonathan. But how can I go from de src.rpm to the rpm? Have I
to install mock? Is that easy?
Just:
dnf install mock
and
mock /path/to/xnee-3.19-1.fc32.src.rpm
Mock will install the results in a subdirectory of /var/lib/mock, although it has
multiple options to change its behavior, such as using —resultdir <path>.
I usually add myself to the “mock” group so I don’t need to enter a password to run mock
as a regular user.
Thanks a lot, Jonathan! I was able to create the Fedora 33 rpm of xnee
by using mock -- it was very simple. I am now going to check out how
to upload that to COPR.
