    This is a hack and it goes without saying you really shouldn't be doing it, and we're horrible people for even trying.

    This will allow you to utilize the Centos8 repo to install MongoDB on the very unsupported Fedora >30

    This is based off Mohamad Bana's excellent guide on how to install the AMDGPU ROCm stack on Fedora, which can be found here:

    https://bana.io/blog/fedora-34-rocm-install

    Commands:

    $ sudo dnf install kernel-headers-`uname -r` kernel-devel-`uname -r`
    $ sudo dnf install gcc rpm-build rpm-devel rpmlint make python bash coreutils diffutils patch rpmdevtools
    $ sudo dnf install python3.6
    $ mkdir -pv ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/mongodb5.0.4-1

    $ tee ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/mongodb5.0.4-1/mongodb-python-dummy.spec <<'EOF'
    Name: mongodb-python-dummy
    Version: 0.0.1
    Release: 1%{?dist}
    Summary: Resolves MongoDB issues with `nothing provides /usr/libexec/platform-python needed by ...` errors

    EOF


    $ rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/mongodb5.0.4-1/mongodb-python-dummy.spec


    $ sudo dnf install ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/mongodb-python-dummy-0.0.1-1.fc35.noarch.rpm


    Now you can go ahead and install MongoDB 4.4 or 5 from the Centos repos without running into the issue "nothing provides /usr/libexec/platform-python"


    I am not responsible for anything horrible that might happen to your system if you try this.
