Hey everyone,
I have been reading the current guideline here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Rust/
and for the most it´s pretty clear when packaging a standalone crate
/ rust generated binaries (given this is my very first step into
understanding rust).
I am currently facing a slightly different challenge as my upstream
project, a bunch of C shared libraries (also available in Fedora),
will soon grow rust bindings.
The rust code will be part of the normal upstream tarball / etc.
that will include at that point a mix of different languages.
I maintain two such projects with Rust bindings
(https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libguestfs
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nbdkit). We don't package the
bindings in Fedora, but instead distribute the source separately
(eg. https://lib.rs/crates/nbdkit)
Right, I was trying to be a good upstream and also package them :P
Other programs that use the bindings bundle them.
It's not ideal at all, but it was the path of least resistance given
the way Rust stuff is built.
I can understand. I guess we will try a similar approach for knet,
unless we can have the Fedora policy shed lights with those situations.
The upstream build system already takes care to call into cargo for
example and I am wondering how the current rust rpm macros are going
to work with it (or viceversa).
Does anyone have experience in packaging mixed sources?
Could you share your spec file please (or just the srpm name ;))
For an example of very very mixed sources, see the libguestfs link
above, although it won't help for Rust or Golang.
thanks for the pointer Rich, i will take a look!
Fabio
