Missing categories
Categories improve browsing of lib.rs and crates.io. Add
categories = ["database", "text-processing"]
to theCargo.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.

Specify git repository URL in
Cargo.toml
to help users find more information, contribute, and for lib.rs to read more info.
oslo-policy
Imprecise dependency requirement thiserror = 1
Cargo does not always pick latest versions of dependencies! Specify the version as
thiserror = "2.0.12"
. IfCargo.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 theminimal-versions
flag, used by users of old Rust versions.This crate does not bump semver-minor when adding new features, so to be safe you get all the features/APIs/fixes that your crate depends on, require a more specific patch version.
Dependency thiserror 1 is a bit outdated
Consider upgrading to 2.0.12 to get all the fixes and improvements.
Easy way to bump dependencies:
cargo install cargo-edit; cargo upgrade -i
; Also check out Dependabot service on GitHub.
jmdict-traverse
Dependency directories ^3 is significantly outdated
Upgrade to 6.0.0 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.
Dependency sha2 ^0.9 is significantly outdated
Upgrade to 0.10.8 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.
Dependency hex-literal ^0.3 is outdated
Upgrade to 1.0.0 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.
Dependency libflate ^1 is outdated
Upgrade to 2.1.0 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.
Imprecise dependency requirement libflate = ^1
Cargo does not always pick latest versions of dependencies! Specify the version as
libflate = "2.1.0"
. IfCargo.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 theminimal-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 categories

.Missing keywords
Help users find your crates. Add
keywords = ["build", "jmdict", "test", "import", "system"]
(up to 5) to theCargo.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.

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.

[badges.maintenance] status = "deprecated"
(or

,"passively-maintained"
).If the crate is truly stable, why not make a 1.0.0 release?

Crate is 'reserved'
Please be respectful of crates.io and don't squat crate names.
It's OK if you intend to publish this project in the near future. Keep in mind that even if you have good intentions, things may not go as planned. crates.io won't reclaim abandoned crates, so reserving good names may end up wasting the good names.
README missing from crate tarball
Cargo sometimes fails to package the
README
file. Ensure the path to theREADME
inCargo.toml
is valid, and points to a file inside the crate's directory.
If some of these crates are unmaintained and shouldn't be checked, yank them or add [badges.maintenance]
to their
status = "deprecated"Cargo.toml
.
