Please make sure the package builds successfully at least for Fedora Rawhide.

If you want to trigger a new Copr build, add a comment containing new

The binary /usr/bin/julia conflicts with the julia package. Per [1], *something* needs to be done about this – it can’t just be an implicit conflict.

I don’t think I understand this well enough to make a recommendation. I see that upstream recommends uninstalling all other Julias before using juliaup[2], and strongly recommends installing via "curl | bash" rather than using package managers[3] due to unspecified “drawbacks (that we hope to lift in the future).” I’m not sure what to think about all that.

You are correct, making the Conflicts explicit is probably a good idea.

There's been a few threads about packaged julia in the past.

This bug has some context for why packaging it (without bundling the world) is basically impossible:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2274270

There was also a discussion on the "devel" list:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/J423CXSMKN525MFGQHHNTNPTSJOKOI4E/

I've added explicit "Conflicts: julia".

This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.

I'll ask around if anybody is still interested in getting this packaged ...

I'm going to abandon this for now.
