--- Comment #1 from Ben Beasley <[email protected]> ---
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Rust/#_vendored_dependencies

“In general, packages SHOULD NOT use bundled crate dependencies, whenever
possible.

“Whenever vendored / bundled crate dependencies are used (no matter which
mechanism is used for the purpose), all bundled crate dependencies MUST be
declared with virtual Provides in the format Provides: bundled(crate($crate)) =
$version in the subpackage that contains the Rust component. For example, these
virtual Provides are used to determine the impact of security vulnerabilities
on packages that use vendored Rust dependencies.

“Building exclusively from vendored dependencies by using a tarball that was
generated by running cargo vendor SHOULD only be a last resort. […]”

Is there a concrete technical reason for using vendored dependencies here? I
know that RHEL vendors Rust dependencies as a matter of course, but this is
Fedora. :-)

I also see a lot of “CC0-1.0” in the license expression, which needs close
investigation to make sure it’s for content and not for code (with very limited
exceptions,
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/blob/56aeba99ba1b551e82b359bde277d1c51cc26e13/data/CC0-1.0.toml#L11-L26),
particularly because the vendored dependency bundle may be bringing in things
that have never been packaged in Fedora before.
