yes to 1, I think I know what you are talking about with 2 but as I read the main guidelines you are allowed to vendor dependencies but it is very much discouraged, though I am unsure where you got the burden part from. > In particular, with zig stuff, I doubt that it's actually reasonably possible > to build > without vendored dependencies due to the relative immaturity of the > library ecosystem (and compiler). > Fabio With zig its not even a matter of immaturity but the fact their dependency system is designed around loose bundles which makes it pretty much impossible to package pure zig libraries without turning it into a ton of work for packagers. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
