A quick review of the development mailing lists sees the last person
mentioning that they were working on packaging LXD was in 2016, and
they only did it in COPR versus getting it included in Fedora. I don't
see anyone else working on it and no component in bugzilla so I don't
know if someone tried and found it too hard or they just decided doing
it in a COPR was all they needed.
There is currently a quite recent version of LXD in copr (version 3.22 2020,
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ganto/lxc3/). Work on version 4 is in progress. We
use the copr version for about nearly 2 years on some of our machines without issues. It’s
currently more or less a one man show and Ganto is doing a great job. There was a short
discussion about adding it to Fedora (
https://github.com/ganto/copr-lxc3/issues/14).
Technically it doesn't seem to be such a difficult thing, but organizationally
it's a matter of manpower. Maybe someone with knowledge in go can be found to assist?
