I maintain two such projects with Rust bindings (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libguestfs https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nbdkit). We don't package the bindings in Fedora, but instead distribute the source separately (eg. https://lib.rs/crates/nbdkit) Other programs that use the bindings bundle them. It's not ideal at all, but it was the path of least resistance given the way Rust stuff is built. > The upstream build system already takes care to call into cargo for > example and I am wondering how the current rust rpm macros are going > to work with it (or viceversa). > > Does anyone have experience in packaging mixed sources? > Could you share your spec file please (or just the srpm name ;)) For an example of very very mixed sources, see the libguestfs link above, although it won't help for Rust or Golang.
