--- Comment #5 from Kalev Lember <klem...@redhat.com> ---
There are broadly two ways to build rust packages such as this:
1) Package all the rust crates that it needs in Fedora instead of downloading
from the internet.
2) Use vendoring (another word for bundling in rust land) to include all the
required rust crates in the tarball.
Right now we are using option 2 in librsvg2, but over the last few days I've
been trying to get the missing rust crates that it requires (there are hundreds
of crates required for building librsvg2, but less than 10 are missing in
Fedora right now) packaged up in Fedora proper. It's actually surprising simple
to package a crate: we have a generator (rust2rpm) that spits out a ready spec
file to go and it's so good that it usually doesn't need any fixes at all
afterwards.
So coming from the perspective of someone who has historically much preferred
option 2, I think option 1 is actually very viable these days because it's so
easy to package rust dependencies and because we already have a large amount of
them pre-packaged.
There's a rust BuildRequires generator that makes all the dependency generation
automatic. See %generate_buildrequires section (currently %if'd out) in
librsvg2 spec file for details :)
