Not really. Other than there's not much he can do until the package is actually
imported.

Sorry if I made that impression. I merely wanted the bits in, totally oblivious
to anyone's third party packages or possible problems with them.

I'm not in a hurry. I'm glad that you two got in touch regarding eventually
adding this to Fedora. I'm totally fine if the bits are imported to Fedora only
after WireGuard is mainlined. If anything, we'll have plenty of time to iron
out the wrinkles by then. That said, I will not delay my approval when the
package passes review -- I fully count on you to import the package at
appropriate time.

Also, I suppose Joe's packager status can be sorted by then as well.

My $0.02 about the RPM Fusion and COPR migrations: we should not bend backwards
to make up for things broken outside Fedora. The COPR users are warned that
COPR packages are unofficial and "quality may vary". When things break, which
is what tends to happen when packages escape quality control or coordination,
the users should be expected to keep both parts.

That said, I'm not going to object bits that would be there to ease the upgrade
pain, if they're not totally unreasonable. An Epoch:, or Provides:/Obsoletes:
would be fine.

Now back to the usual review business.

1.) Please don't add this package:

> %package -n wireguard
> Summary:        Metapackage providing the WireGuard tools and the WireGuard kernel module

It does not make any sense in Fedora context.

If you intend to cope with the kmod mess either add the metapackage to the same
repository where the kmod lives or just bring back the weak dependency.

Other than that the package looks good to me.

Thank you!
