I, for one, am a Fedora contributor. I’ve loved Crystal since it’s beginnings and would love to see it as a first class citizen in Fedora.
Up to now, I’ve been using Zawertun’s package as my main crystal driver in Fedora: Making sure you're not a bot!. Kudos to him for maintaining it and doing so in such a great way for so many years.
That said, I’d love to take it into the main repos and have packaging guidelines for it. Every major language has them.
I am a Fedora packager and I would like to know if there is interest in this and, if so, who could help with the packaging process.
This is important. I’ve seen a mini-revival as of late of Crystal within the community. Apps, frameworks and libraries are starting to move again.
We could use that momentum and synergize with Crystal being fully supported in Fedora.
It could bring in more users and make things nicer in general for Crystal.
I’d like to read your opinion.
