Hi all, I've been collecting data about the dependency graph of Rust packages in Fedora for over a year now, and I would like to start the process of removing some accumulated cruft. In particular, I've been keeping track of which packages for *library* packages (i.e. they ship only source code but no binaries) have been leaf packages. List of Rust library-only packages, which no other package in Fedora has depended on, for over a year (365 days+): - rust-compiletest_rs - rust-constant_time_eq - rust-conv - rust-counted-array - rust-dbus-tokio - rust-defmac - rust-dialoguer - rust-enumset - rust-failure-tools - rust-fake-simd - rust-fbthrift_codegen_includer_proc_macro - rust-fdlimit - rust-hamcrest2 - rust-html2pango - rust-imgref - rust-ioctl-rs - rust-lipsum - rust-listenfd - rust-loggerv - rust-lzw - rust-macro-attr - rust-mdl - rust-mktemp - rust-mnt - rust-newtype_derive - rust-odds - rust-osstrtools - rust-parse_cfg - rust-permutate - rust-piper - rust-podio - rust-proc-quote-impl - rust-process_path - rust-progress-streams - rust-protoc-rust - rust-quickersort - rust-rand_jitter - rust-rand_os - rust-read_input - rust-relay - rust-rustc_tools_util - rust-rustdoc-stripper - rust-rustfilt - rust-safe-transmute - rust-scoped-tls-hkt - rust-serde-pickle - rust-serial-core - rust-sluice - rust-smallstr - rust-spinning_top - rust-spmc - rust-ssh-key-dir - rust-stb_truetype - rust-string_cache_shared - rust-strings - rust-sudo_plugin - rust-sxd-document - rust-synom - rust-sysctl - rust-tabwriter - rust-take - rust-timerfd - rust-tower-test - rust-tower-util - rust-ucd-util - rust-unic-ucd-category - rust-url_serde - rust-urlocator - rust-utf8-ranges - rust-watchman_client Some of these packages are dependencies of things that will be worked on at some point in the future (for example, packaging of GStreamer plugins that are written in Rust), but others look very much like accumulated cruft. If you see a package on this list that you would like to keep for some reason, please speak up, and I will exclude it from future dependency graph analysis. Otherwise I will soon start retiring packages that have been unused for over a year. The packages that would be in the list above, but which I *know* will get some use soon, are: - rust-curve25519-dalek - rust-gstreamer-audio - rust-gstreamer-editing-services - rust-gstreamer-player I will probably start the cleanup process with packages for crates that no longer have any dependent crates listed on the crates.io registry (which is a good indicator that they are indeed obsolete), and then continue with crates for which the longest amount of time has passed since the last upstream release (which is "more than 5 years ago" for some crates ...).
