Hi folks -- I'm a Fedora package maintainer (albeit for a small package), and
also one of the original authors of Watchman. I'm very interested in getting
Watchman into Fedora -- we believe it's the most robust directory watching tool
in existence.
I understand and respect the motivations behind wanting to unbundle libraries,
but as Wez pointed out in
https://github.com/facebook/watchman/issues/474#issuecomment-303563584 that
wouldn't be appropriate here. We've forked these libraries and made invasive
changes to them -- they're effectively internal components at this point. It is
not really possible to extricate our changes, unfortunately.
Consider a slightly different situation where we wrote a JSON library,
wildmatch, libart etc from scratch for Watchman. I'm sure unbundling wouldn't
be a problem in that case. Would it be possible to treat our current situation
as this slightly different but still legitimate one?
