No, but nothing special is needed if you're building natively. If
you're cross-compiling, you probably want a cross file like this:

https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/blob/master/cross/ubuntu-armhf.txt

You will need to edit the paths to point to the right places for Fedora.

Just use the latest Fedora.

Same. The stable branch and the latest development are both tested
regularly by developers who use the latest Fedora. Older stable
branches will also probably work, but it's not guaranteed because no
one is checking.

If you're looking for CI scripts, they're at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer

See .gitlab-ci.yml and ci/*
