Sessions
As during every Flock, we'll hold a session with FESCo members to introduce themselves and say a few words about our plans for the next year. The majority of time will be spent on questions from the audience.
This session will be held as part workshop, part presentation of modern (or just new) packaging practices and tools for the Python, Go, and Rust ecosystems.
- Python: 2021-era Python packaging ("pyproject" macros) and declarative buildsystem support in RPM 4.20
- Go: go-vendor-tools and upcoming packaging changes (potentially changing the default to using vendored dependencies)
- Rust: improvements for rust2rpm, new busywork-reducing features, improved support for building with vendored dependencies
The workshop will begin with a short introduction and presentation of these features and upcoming changes from SIG members. At this point, common problem areas of RPM packaging that affect multiple language stacks could be discussed if there is audience interest. After a short break, attendees can ask questions and / or split into groups to get hands-on experience or demonstrations.
The Rust SIG will also be collecting ideas for a new "cookbook" style documentation for rust2rpm that will serve as a more "if-this-then-that" style documentation for common situations people encounter when doing Rust packaging in Fedora.
