See this repo as an example: > https://github.com/containers/libpod/tree/master/vendor Since you take Go in example – vendoring (bundling) proved such a maintenance headache upstream that Google had to create a complete new packaging system to get rid of it. Not for Fedora or Linux people, but because they had huge problems with unmaintained, holed and non-legal code lurking in this kind of vendor pile. So Go (upstream) is going away from the kind of practice you’re advocating. And Google’s implementation of versionning in Go modules is even stricter and more rigid than the one in rpm (precisely because they tried the lala-lala let’s bundle everything without caring about versions, and were badly burned). From a technical POW, we need to improve the mapping of their packaging system and then integrating the Go ecosystem in Fedora will be no harder than integrating any other language component (easier, because the language-specific package manager produces very regular sources). From a maintenance POW dumping huge piles of unmanaged third-party code on build farms just does not work long term. That’s why Google had to break its vendor piles in atomic Go modules. From a process POW, Fedora is not ready. Not because out tech does not work but because our processes can not handle the pile of atomic components generated by upstream practices. Since the problem is process, not technical side, please work on the process side, instead of trying to bypass the process with bad technical solutions.
