Thanks for looking at this!

Ugh, I’m not sure how I missed that. The benchmark data are dubiously licensed
even for the source RPMs. I sent a PR upstream to python-cramjam for this,
https://github.com/milesgranger/cramjam/issues/178. I’ll need to do something
similar here, and (until it’s merged and released), package from a “filtered”
version of the crate archive to avoid including the dubious files in source
RPMs.

Sure, it’s a tiny file that’s doing no harm, but it’s indeed unnecessary. I
would be inclined not to bother patching downstream for it, but it’s worth
excluding it in the PR I send upstream for the benchmark data.

I assume you are talking about this?

  # * Do not test that the blosc2-sys bidings were generated against the exact
  #   version of c-blosc2 that upstream expects; we always use the system
blosc2,
  #   whatever that may be.
  %cargo_test -- -- --exact --skip tests::test_get_version_string

I think it did come up explicitly in this case, but in general, loosening
bounds on library versions in -sys crates is really our only option. If we are
going to build against system libraries, we can’t be pinning them to an exact
patch-release. If we really needed an exact patch-release, that would be
adequate justification for bundling. In almost all cases these strict
dependencies are a matter of the crate authors focusing primarily on static
linking with bundled libraries and expecting to control their dependency
versions. If an update is ABI-compatible for C programs, it’s very unlikely
that it would break a -sys crate. This is even more true in cases like this
where I will maintain the -sys crate but not the system library, so an
exact-version pin could be broken by a compatible update at any time. Still, I
think expecting an exact library version is generally too brittle even when
both packages share maintainers.
