You could maintain the package and have it in the main Fedora repository:

For a relatively standalone application like this, a COPR repo would likely be a better fit than the main Fedora package repos: https://developer.fedoraproject.org/deployment/copr/about.html

I just packaged vscode. Can you help me test it? @fnkr

Edit: Ignore this comment, apparently I've managed to consistently misspell mosquito quite many times... sorry for the inconvenience.

Works fine, installs without any apparent issues.

I see you've decided to go for 'vscode' as command instead of 'Code' or 'code', this had me confused at first but I actually like it, I've always felt that 'code' was a little ambiguous to have in my path.

@1dot75cm Tested on F21 and F23, looking good so far.

Thanks test. @bgse
In fact, I refuse to 'Shift' key. My little finger is very fragile. :)))))))))
