  • Dependency instant 0.1.12 has issues

    It may not be actively developed any more. Consider changing the dependency.

  • Dependency wayland-client 0.29 is outdated

    Upgrade to 0.31.8 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.

    In Cargo, different 0.x versions are considered incompatible, so this is a semver-major upgrade.

    wayland-client versions

  • Dependency wayland-cursor 0.29 is outdated

    Upgrade to 0.31.8 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.

    wayland-cursor versions

  • Dependency wayland-protocols 0.29 is outdated

    Upgrade to 0.32.6 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.

    wayland-protocols versions

  • Optional dependency 'wayland-cursor' exposed as an implicit feature

    Cargo automatically makes publicly-available crate features for every optional dependency, unless the dependencies are referenced using dep: syntax. Features 'wayland-cursor', 'dlib', 'x11-dl', 'wayland-client', 'wayland-protocols', 'lazy_static', 'libc', 'tempfile' may have been unintentional.

  • Latest stable release is old

    It's been over 6 years. Is this crate still maintained? Make a new release, either to refresh it, or to set

    [badges.maintenance]
    status = "deprecated"
    

    (or "as-is", "passively-maintained").

    If the crate is truly stable, why not make a 1.0.0 release?

  • Dependency libloading 0.5 is significantly outdated

    Upgrade to 0.8.6 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.

    libloading versions

  • Buggy README path

    The non-local path to readme specified as \.\./readme\.md exposes a bug in Cargo. Please use a path inside the crate's directory. Symlinks are okay. Please verify the change doesn't break any repo-relative URLs in the README.

  • Dependency bitflags 1.0 is outdated

    Upgrade to 2.8.0 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.

    Easy way to bump dependencies: cargo install cargo-edit; cargo upgrade -i; Also check out Dependabot service on GitHub.

    bitflags versions

  • Dependency rustc_version 0.2 is outdated

    Upgrade to 0.4.1 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.

    rustc_version versions

  • README missing from crate tarball

    Cargo sometimes fails to package the README file. Ensure the path to the README in Cargo.toml is valid, and points to a file inside the crate's directory.

• cfixed-string

  • Incorrect category

    Crate's categories property in Cargo.toml contains 'data structures', which isn't a category we recognize

    lib.rs has simplified and merged some of crates.io categories. Please file a bug if we got it wrong.

  • Latest stable release is old

    It's been over 3 years. Is this crate still maintained? Make a new release, either to refresh it, or to set

    [badges.maintenance]
    status = "deprecated"
    

    (or "as-is", "passively-maintained").

    Users pay attention to the latest release date. Even if the crate is perfectly fine as-is, users may not know that.

  • Missing keywords

    Help users find your crates. Add keywords = ["string", "heap-allocation", "pass", "needing", "short"] (up to 5) to the Cargo.toml. Best keywords are alternative terms or their spellings that aren't in the name or description. Also add a keyword that precisely categorizes this crate and groups it with other similar crates.

• remotery

  • Missing categories

    Categories improve browsing of lib.rs and crates.io. Add categories = ["…"] to the Cargo.toml.

    Even if there are no categories that fit precisely, pick one that is least bad. You can also propose new categories in crates.io issue tracker.

  • Dependency gcc 0.3 has issues

    It may not be actively developed any more. Consider changing the dependency.

  • Latest stable release is old

    It's been over 8 years. Is this crate still maintained? Make a new release, either to refresh it, or to set

    [badges.maintenance]

    (or "as-is", "passively-maintained").

  • The Cargo package has no git commit information

    Before publishing a package, make sure all packaged files are committed to the repository, and there are no "dirty" files. Push this commit to crate's public repository.

    To protect against supply chain attacks similar to CVE-2024-3094, lib.rs will soon start flagging non-reproducible packages without public source code as suspicious. Currently only git repositories are supported (but may be hosted anywhere, not just GitHub). If you'd like a different SCM supported, please file a feature request.

  • Imprecise dependency requirement tempfile = 3

    Cargo does not always pick latest versions of dependencies! Specify the version as tempfile = "3.17.0". If Cargo.lock ends up having an unexpectedly old version of the dependency, you might get a dependency that lacks features/APIs or important bugfixes that you depend on. This is most likely to happen when using the minimal-versions flag, used by users of old Rust versions.

    If you want to keep using truly minimal dependency requirements, please make sure you test them in CI with -Z minimal-versions Cargo option, because it's very easy to accidentally use a feature added in a later version.

  • Missing keywords

    Help users find your crates. Add keywords = ["virtual-memory", "memory-management", "memory-allocator", "physical-memory", "arena"] (up to 5) to the Cargo.toml. Best keywords are alternative terms or their spellings that aren't in the name or description. Also add a keyword that precisely categorizes this crate and groups it with other similar crates.

  • Imprecise dependency requirement walkdir = 2

    Cargo does not always pick latest versions of dependencies! Specify the version as walkdir = "2.5.0". If Cargo.lock ends up having an unexpectedly old version of the dependency, you might get a dependency that lacks features/APIs or important bugfixes that you depend on. This is most likely to happen when using the minimal-versions flag, used by users of old Rust versions.

  • Missing keywords

    Help users find your crates. Add keywords = ["graphics-api", "cross-platform", "bindings", "bgfx", "own"] (up to 5) to the Cargo.toml. Best keywords are alternative terms or their spellings that aren't in the name or description. Also add a keyword that precisely categorizes this crate and groups it with other similar crates.

• bgfx-sys

  • *-sys crate without links property

    If this crate uses C libraries with public symbols, consider adding links = "bgfx" to crate's Cargo.toml to avoid other libraries colliding with them. Note that the links property adds exclusivity to dependency resolution, but doesn't do any linking.

    This is also needed to protect your crate from duplicate older versions of itself. C symbols are global, and duplicate symbols can cause all sorts of breakage.

  • Missing keywords

    Help users find your crates. Add keywords = ["bgfx", "low-level", "github"] (up to 5) to the Cargo.toml. Best keywords are alternative terms or their spellings that aren't in the name or description. Also add a keyword that precisely categorizes this crate and groups it with other similar crates.

  • Published crate contains binary files

    The crate contains binary files (DOS exe, ELF exe/lib, Mach-o exe). Crates are meant to be compiled from source. Please check that you haven't published temporary build files by accident. If you have test fixtures, consider excluding them from crates-io tarball, since Cargo doesn't run tests from crates-io packages.

If some of these crates are unmaintained and shouldn't be checked, yank them or add [badges.maintenance]
status = "deprecated" to their Cargo.toml.
