Currently, moby-engine (equivalent to docker-ce) already uses bundled dependencies. containerd on Fedora uses unbundled dependencies, which does create more work, but doing so is recommended by our packaging guidelines where it's feasible. It shouldn't be too difficult/messy to add bundling bconds, as long as we stick to the version of go-rpm-macros in Fedora and EL 9. It starts getting messier (repeated code and lots of conditionals) when you maintain unbundled Fedora and EPEL 7-8 compatibility in the same specfile. On a related note, I recently learned that it's possible to include snippets from other files in specfiles using the %include macro. This way, you can easily create a script to update virtual provides for bundled go packages without having to copy/paste text into the specfile. This also keeps your specfile cleaner. If anyone is interested, feel free to look at moby-engine for an example. -- Thanks, Maxwell G (@gotmax23) Pronouns: He/Him/His
