Description

I would like to suggest an official .rpm package file of micro be included in the releases section going forward.

This would make installation and maintenance easier for those using an RPM compatible distributions which does not have micro in its repositories, has an outdated version of micro in its repositories, or environments where a direct RPM download from the 'official source' is preferable and/or mandatory to use instead of one created by a 3rd party. There is already a .deb package for the distributions which support those, which is advantageous for the same reasons.

Research direction

Start by tracing the release process that produces the existing .deb package and how release artifacts are attached. Determine where an official .rpm artifact would fit for RPM-compatible distributions; done means a documented, repeatable RPM package is included in future GitHub Releases.
