> The better way to use Julia is through juliaup (https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup), which will install it from versions compiled by the upstream project and hosted on their infrastructure - and also allow for installation of multiple versions side-by-side (since there are both long-term support versions like 1.6 and the current stable version). I had a look at packaging it before, but never followed up on that yet, just due to not having enough time yet. (I think it should just need to be a rust2rpm package, with one or two extra dependencies that need packaging).

Oh, I didn't expect this to be written in Rust.

If that is indeed a better way to manage local Julia installations,
then I can look into packaging it and / or putting it on the Rust
package wishlist.
