Hi, I'm looking at fsverity for Fedora CoreOS (a bit more background in https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1959 )
I have a bunch of questions there (feel free to jump in), but just to start here:
I'd like to get fsverity-utils as a Fedora package, but there don't seem to be any git tags on the repo https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/fsverity-utils.git/ - I could make up a datestamped version number, but I think it'd be better if there were upstream tags - it is useful to have releases with human-consumable version numbers for the usual reasons. And RPM/dpkg/etc really care about the version numbers of packages.
Other distributions/some packagers think "release" means tarballs, so someone may want to consider that too, personally
I use https://github.com/cgwalters/git-evtag for making git tags since I think it helps replace tarballs.

Yes, I think it's time for a formal release of fsverity-utils now that fs-verity
is in the upstream kernel. I've tagged v1.0 and uploaded the tarball to here:
https://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ebiggers/fsverity-utils/v1.0/
