Description of problem:

It would be great of the Mozilla VPN client would be packaged for and included in Fedora, cf. https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/issues/1556.

Comment 1 Fedora Review Service 2024-11-09 17:05:54 UTC
The ticket summary is not in the correct format.
Expected:

    Review Request: <main package name here> - <short summary here>

Found:

    New package: Mozilla VPN

As a consequence, the package name cannot be parsed and submitted to
be automatically build. Please modify the ticket summary and trigger a
build by typing [fedora-review-service-build].

Cannot find any valid SRPM URL for this ticket. Common causes are:

- You didn't specify `SRPM URL: ...` in the ticket description
  or any of your comments
- The URL schema isn't HTTP or HTTPS
- The SRPM package linked in your URL doesn't match the package name specified
  in the ticket summary

This is not a package wishlist - it's a way to submit packages that are intended to be included in official Fedora repositories for review.

You'll likely have more luck getting somebody to look at packaging Mozilla VPN by asking in the Fedora Golang channel on the Fedora Matrix server, or by posting to the Golang mailing list.

Note that I personally tried packaging Mozilla VPN at some point in the past, and got a package into a state where it built and installed correctly, but the built executable crashed immediately. I couldn't figure out why, and gave up.

Hopefully someone picks up the torch, but anyone here looking for a good option in the meantime, I am on Silverblue and have been using https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire to happily use Mozilla VPN for a few years now:
