From engineering point of view, packaging JavaScript::QuickJS would be the best option. > Can I add the module source as `Source1` and build it together with the rest > of ChordPro? You can. But you need to follow <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#bundling>. Also don't miss that if you install bundled JavaScript::QuickJS into standard Perl paths (e.g. /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl) it will become available to other Perl code and users and you will get into same troubles as if you packaged it separately. > Should I use a `cpan` command to add it? Do you mean when building chordpro in Fedora Koji? No, because Koji has no access to the Internet. Do you mean after installing chordpro on a user's systems when a user execute the application? Not that it would be impossible, but it's against Fedora's spirit (and maybe some rules) that packages that Fedora delivers are usable per se without third-party artifacts. > Or is there a better way? lib/ChordPro/Delegate/ABC.pm shows that there more options than JavaScript::QuickJS. But the other options are also not packaged in Fedora. Maybe removing ChordPro::Delegate::ABC module from chordpro RPM package could be an option. The module is only used from a single place and the use is guarded with an eval block. If chordpro is usable without ABC support, then it could be the way. -- Petr
