Hi Dan,
I'd be thrilled to sponsor you if you'd like to be a developer. Failing which, one of Kushal or myself can officially propose the package, with your help in case we run into problems.
Fedora packaging guidelines currently does not allow for optional dependencies (recommendations/suggestions) -- athough I believe openSUSE and Mandriva use them. So I'd say it depends on whether it adds substantial functionality or not; if not, maybe a mention in a README.Fedora file suggesting the other package be installed is sufficient.
Let me know what you think.
Best,

I've prepared a spec file for this package. I've tested it and it works to my satisfaction.

Feel free to move the files to wherever they need to go.
I have two open questions:
- Should the package be named vim-vimclojure (as it is) or
vim-clojure? 2. Should the package require nailgun, or should the user have to install that package separately? (Note that vimclojure will function without nailgun)
(Btw, is there a way to mark a package dependency as optional or recommended?)

Kushal and Michel,
I noticed that you're leading up the effort to package Leiningen for Fedora 18, for which I'm thrilled. Would you consider sponsering a package for vimclojure [1] as well? Nailgun is already available in Fedora [2], so it's just a matter of package the vim scripts. I imagine the package would look very similar to vim-nerdtree [3], so we could build on that.
I'm not a Fedora packager, but I would be willing to help put the package together. WDYT? I think this would be big for Clojure developers (obviously those that use vim, but perhaps developers who haven't experienced good repl editor integration).
