I would like to request permission to bundle code from xxHash in lz4-java package [1].
lz4-java contains multiple files from https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash (no available in Fedora).
These files are included in lz4-java source repository and maintained as part of the project.
I would like to ask permission to use the bundled code, until it will be imported in Fedora.
There is already a bug open [2] for this purpose but it seems that it is a "dead end".
Thanks in advance
Regards

FPC no longer has anything to do with bundling. Please see the current guidelines:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Bundling_and_Duplication_of_system_libraries
Please make sure to add the necessary "Provides: bundled(xxHash) = version" to your package.

I used Provides: bundled(libxxhash) = 37
because the xxHash project provides also xxhsum tool
is ok for you?
As long as you can keep track of it, it's fine. If the bundled library is in Fedora, use the Fedora package name. If multiple packages bundle the same thing, use the same bundled name in those packages. Otherwise, just use what makes sense to you.
