--- Comment #5 from Tom Payne <twpayne@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Author of chezmoi here.

As I understand it, the Fedora packaging policy is to package each dependency
separately and have a single version of each dependency installed on each
machine.

If this is the case, then it will likely be hard or impossible to package
chezmoi for Fedora for the following reasons:
1. chezmoi has many dependencies: about 50 direct dependencies, and about 70
indirect dependencies. Packaging all of these will be a huge amount of work.
2. chezmoi regularly updates its dependencies to the latest version for
security fixes, bug fixes, and features. chezmoi's set of dependencies changes
on each patch release of chezmoi, which is roughly every two weeks.
3. chezmoi blacklists specific versions of certain dependencies due to critical
bugs in specif versions of those dependencies or removed features.

chezmoi's go.mod file lists all of chezmoi's dependencies, and the exclude
section at the end lists the blacklisted versions:
