Hello! It turns out, it is not as simple as "just two small extensions". Packaging the html-escape crate is not a problem, it has no dependencies that are not already present in Fedora. smallbitvec has very outdated dependencies for running its test suite, so that has to be turned off. You also seem to have missed tiny_http 0.8.x, which is present in Fedora repos, but with a version that is too old (0.6.2). But the bigger problem will be tree-sitter-cli itself, which is split into multiple, separately-shipped Rust crates - so there's these additional dependencies to the two you assumed going into this endeavour: - tree-sitter-cli - tree-sitter - tree-sitter-config - tree-sitter-highlight - tree-sitter-loader - tree-sitter-tags Those will also have to be packaged. They don't have any dependencies that are not packaged for Fedora yet, but tree-sitter requires spin version 0.7.x, whereas we have spin 0.5.2 right now. This means, in total: - new package: rust-html-escape - new package: rust-smallbitvec - update package: rust-tiny_http to version 0.8.2 - new package: rust-tiny_http0.6 compat package - new package: rust-tree-sitter-cli - new package: rust-tree-sitter - new package: rust-tree-sitter-config - new package: rust-tree-sitter-highlight - new package: rust-tree-sitter-loader - new package: rust-tree-sitter-tags - update package: rust-spin to version 0.7.1 - new package: rust-spin0.5 compat package So, ten new packages, plus two updates, plus two new compat packages (unless I missed something - there might be more TODO items than those). Welcome to the Rust world! ;) The Rust SIG *can* help with this work, but I don't like committing the SIG (which has been mostly myself, for the past months) to more work maintaining ever more packages without a good reason.
