Hey y'all,
I'm the maintainer for google-guest-agent[0] and the most recent updates from
upstream add some extra dependencies. Much of this stems from some additional
confidential computing functionality added to the guest agent.
If I follow the new chain of dependencies down the path, I eventually land on
Hashicorp Vault. I'm far from a licensing expert, but it appears that the Vault
license is incompatible with Fedora's licensing requirements.
I see a few options here:
1) Try to pry out some of the confidential computing items from the latest
upstream release. I cannot guarantee this will work and it will set Fedora back
a bit on confidential computing support.
2) Try to work through the dependencies to see if the Vault dependency can be
avoided somehow.
3) Find a new maintainer for the package with much better golang skills than I
have. đŸ¤£
4) Ask upstream about shortening the dependency list somehow.
I'm planning to start with #4, but I'm running very low on time to maintain
this package. Does anyone else have any other suggestions I might have missed?

You could build the lates FOSS version of Vault.
Vault has already come across my path as a dependency but I always cut it out
because it's a gynormous project to package and we don't have the time.
What is your dependency chain?
Best regards,
Robert-André
