Fedora issues #7

Description

@blackfyre

Fedora installs currently fail for two separate reasons:

  1. The Linux build path hard-codes --with-uuid=e2fs, but the README points users at uuid-devel, while Fedora needs libuuid-devel for that backend.
  2. PostgreSQL's Perl codegen step requires File::Compare, which is not guaranteed by a minimal Fedora Perl install.

Suggested fixes:

  • Add a Fedora section to the README with dnf group install development-tools and explicit package names.
  • Replace Fedora UUID guidance with libuuid-devel.
  • Add perl-File-Compare to Fedora requirements.
  • Optionally detect OSSP UUID on Linux and fall back to --with-uuid=ossp when e2fs is unavailable.
