Description David Abdurachmanov 2022-11-22 07:40:39 UTC
Description of problem:

While trying to update some dependencies for device-mapper-persistent-data on Fedora/RISCV F37 I noticed that this package might not comply with Rust Packaging Guidelines.

1. The package use vendor directory for the dependencies, instead of packaging dependencies in Fedora.
2. Vendor directory is updated via a separate tarball (are there any modifications?), that also incl. .*a static libraries for winapi:

[..]

3. The package doesn't contain any Provides: bundled(crate(foo)) = version for bundled stuff.
4. The package doesn't use required %cargo_prep macro, instead creating it's own .cargo/config file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 37, device-mapper-persistent-data-0.9.0-8.fc37

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 2 Aoife Moloney 2023-12-06 11:29:41 UTC
Fedora Linux 37 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on None.

Fedora Linux 37 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle.
Changing version to 40.
