If I may, is there a way to quickly and easily have a disposable/revertible environment for building? For Fedora specifically. It's annoying to install a whole suite of packages because I need them just this once and then either manually delete the ones I didn't manually install before and actually need or just live with a whole bunch of devel packages that'll never be used again

Distrobox might be the easiest way. If you use a custom HOME directory you can even keep the build artefacts isolated.

You can use docker for that. I think there are even some tools to make it easier to use for that use case, but I just use plain docker for it
