I think it's an interesting idea that might reduce issues with version mismatches, but the Rust SIG folks had recommended split packages for policy reasons. I put the question to the Rust SIG folks on matrix who had recommended the split approach, and they cite the Rust packaging guidelines on the subject: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Rust/#_package_sources Namely, their guidelines effectively require that all rust-somepackage packages come from the crates.io sources for somepackage, for consistency and ease of maintenance on the Rust side. Additionally, the argument was made that the Python bindings are not so tightly integrated: since they *can* be patched to depend on the Rust package instead of using bundled sources, they *must* be so patched, per the bundled sources packaging guidelines: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#bundling I think both of these arguments are reasonable in terms of maintainability, with the burden mostly falling on the maintainer (presumably myself) of python-safetensors to keep the version in sync, and the Rust folks continuing to maintain the rust-safetensors package with their procedures. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
