Hello All!
I'd like to ask you for advice. I've packaged an application which can
use external CLI tools (not available in Fedora for various non-legal
reasons). Shall I remove support for these tools or better keep it?
The answer is "it depends".
I don't think removing support/features from tools you package is the
way forward: it makes maintenance harder for you, and if users install
the non-available CLI then try to use your packaged program, they would
be surprised to find it can't use that external CLI tool.
Definitely make sure that your packaged app has a useful error when
users try to use features that require the external CLI, and maybe even
tells them where to find it if they're willing to install from external
sources.
