Well the specific case was that libguestfs has golang bindings, and we wanted to package them as a subpackage in Fedora. Copr doesn't help for subpackages. I don't really see the need for an exception either -- I mean, idiosyncratically[1] packaged golang bindings would have been better than not packaging them at all. I don't see much problem here if you assume good faith. There's a reasonable period where we are all working out what golang packaging means, and there's going to be some experimentation during that period. It's somewhat uniquely a problem for golang because upstream is so (IMO) broken. Rich. [1] This is for the sake of argument: in reality they were not "idiosyncratically" packaged -- I tried and continue to try to adopt and follow the interim golang packaging guidelines as far as possible. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.
