Unfortunately, there is not right or wrong format. It is just about critical mass. If you create flatpak/snap instead, you won't benefit from fixes possibly provided by other packagers. While if there is not enough packagers, it is certainly annoying to be the one to take care about everything.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for this. The issue I think is that there is a large number of dependencies and AIUI, Fedora doesn't allow these to be bundled with the gem[1]. This means a fairly significant task creating packages for a variety of nodejs dependencies amongst other things, e.g. Vega[2] has a fairly rapid release schedule.
The more I consider the situation, the more I'm thinking that rpm is not the correct packaging format for asciidoctor-pdf and friends given their long list of dependencies and that a better fit would be a containerised deployment or perhaps flatpak/snap.
However I thought I'd put this out for further responses from anyone with a vested interest.

Christopher,
I would encourage you not to give up on Asciidoctor Diagram yet. I spoke with Pepijn (https://github.com/pepijnve), the maintainer, and he told me he would be glad to help you if you reached out (via the project issue tracker). Just introduce yourself there so he knows who you are. He said he is willing to change the code or build if necessary to get it packaged.
Although Asciidocotor Diagram bundles some of the diagram tools in the published gem, it could be reconfigured / patched to look for those tools from another place on the system. The only requirement is that it finds the tool somewhere on the system so it can be invoked.
Best Regards,

Ok, thanks Vit.
I think I'll probably do the same.
I don't have the bandwidth to take on the maintenance of that number of packages right now unless anyone else is interested in sharing the work?

But we rather avoided the dependency in ascii_binder for the time being:

Hello,
I've upgrade to F33 and discovered that we are missing asciidoctor-diagram as a requirement for some internal tooling.
I am putting together a spec file for this now however tests are failing with missing executables in the path. I am able to work around some by installing the package but the majority we don't appear to ship packages for - see example below.
Again, I'm sure this is something obvious (hopefully) and would appreciate a steer in the right direction. I've attempted to pass various options to rspec but to no avail.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
