[Rust] How to deal with packages cointaining rust parts?
Hello,
I looked into updating libopenraw to 0.3.5 yesterday, in order to
possibly enable packaging miniaturo [1], a drop-in replacement for the
unmaintained raw-thumbnailer [2].
During the build process, libopenraw tries do download mp4parse and
mp4parse_capi, which works if --enable-network is passed to mock. For a
proper update I assume these dependencies would need to be packaged
first. mp4_parse even used to have a fedora package at some point in the
past [3].
The question is: what would the proper way of packaging the updated
libopenraw? How to tell it to use the system versions of the libs? The
guidelines appear to be focused on pure rust packages. And, even more
importantly: would miniaturo be even allowed to be packaged? There
appears to be no package at crates.io. Thanks for the input.
Best regards,
Julian
