Hi,
I'm currently investigating the packaging of Prometheus and Grafana in
Fedora/Epel.
Both are cutting-edge high-visibility complex applications written in
Go, that map well to Fedora/Epel historical sysadmin userbase
https://prometheus.io/
https://grafana.com/
I already spent a few months of work working on the Go layer, writing
Golang-to-rpm plumbing, packaging guidelines, packaging and testing
hundreds of spec files. It is finally looking like something that could
end up in the distribution, even though there is still a ton of work to
do plumbing-side to make Go packaging in Fedora simple and convenient.
And I'd like to spend more time making this plumbing a reality.
However, at the same time, the target apps can not be used, since they
include a javascript layer, and I haven't packaged it.
Prometheus provides a bundled copy of the javascript it needs, thus I
supposed it could be packaged as-is, even though that is bad engineering
and totally not what I did for the Go layer.
https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/tree/master/web/ui/static/vendor
Grafana OTOH has a clean codebase with a build process that uses yarn to
get third-party javascript
https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/master/yarn.lock
Therefore, I'm looking for help :
1. either pointers or advice on how to package this javascript cleanly
or
2. ideally, people willing to take over this javascript packaging, so
I can focus on finishing the Golang plumbing in Fedora
I suppose this is also a test if a distribution like Fedora/Epel can
still be used to deploy the kind of apps written in 2018, or if it's
condemned to fade and be replaced by other approaches like containers.
