Hi Fedorians, A recent PR reminded me that I never properly announced the new (well, four months old) bundled() Provides generator for Golang projects[1]. This can be used to simplify generating these Provides when bundling is justified in Fedora[2] or for (EP)EL. Simply mark the vendor/modules.txt file generated by `go mod vendor` with `%license` and the generator will take care of the rest.
This removes the need for long lists of Provides that clutter specfiles and have to be updated after each upstream release. It's up to package maintainers to inspect the Provides for correctness when opting in to this generator. Please let us know if you find any bugs. The generator is available in all Fedora branches and on EPEL 9 (part of go-rpm-macros-epel that shadows RHEL's go-rpm-macros). go-rpm-macros has been updated in c9s, so I'll remove the generator from go-rpm-macros-epel when the next RHEL 9 minor release comes out.
