--- Comment #8 from Fabio Valentini <decathorpe@xxxxxxxxx> ---
> this crate is statically building a copy of the C library, not just providing bindings, this is probably not ok for Fedora policy.

This is definitely not *preferred* from a Packaging Guidelines point of view,
but it's not *forbidden*.

> It would be better if usptream could give an option to build gainst one of the crypto team sanctioned crypto libraries, for example using rust-openssl.

FWIW, I agree. I will elaborate in the post to the crypto-team mailing list
that is mandatory for package reviews like this. But TL;DR is that as far as I
can tell, this is the least bad option we have for Fedora packaging. (I am
working to replace "rust-ring" with "rust-aws-lc-rs" - aligning with the
changed defaults in rustls upstream, and moving from a project with arguably
spotty maintenance to one backed by Amazon / AWS. If you think this package is
bad, don't look at rust-ring. ;))
