Orphaning some CLI tools (written in Rust)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Doing some end-of-year "does this still spark joy?" type of chores, I
decided to orphan a few packages for command-line tools (written in
Rust) that I picked up at some point but which I myself don't use:

- rust-git-delta
- rust-gitui + rust-asyncgit
- rust-sd
- rust-silver

Some notes for potential maintainers:

Some of these don't see regular updates - sd and silver are years old
at this point. rust-git-delta, rust-gitui, and rust-silver all depend
on the Rust bindings for libgit2. This is a constant pain point,
because they need to be patched for new libgit2 bindings versions to
address security issues in the bundled libgit2. (Yes, *not* using the
bundled libgit2 was considered, and was considered *worse*. The Rust
bindings only ever support *one* specific minor version of libgit2,
and silently / subtly break with other versions due to ABI
incompatibilities.)

A number of similar packages I don't use were already redistributed
internally in the Rust SIG:

- rust-bat
- rust-fd-find
- rust-lsd
- rust-tokei

Three of these (bat, lsd, tokei) *also* depend on the libgit2 Rust
bindings, and share the maintenance annoyances of the other packages.
:)

Happy Holidays.
Fabio
