• sysfs_gpio

  • Dependency mio 0.8 is significantly outdated

    Upgrade to 1.0.3 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.

  • Dependency nix 0.23 is significantly outdated

    Upgrade to 0.29.0 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.

    nix versions

  • Imprecise dependency requirement tokio = 1

    Cargo does not always pick latest versions of dependencies! Specify the version as tokio = "1.43.0". 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 categories

    Categories improve browsing of lib.rs and crates.io. Add categories = ["embedded"] 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.

  • Missing keywords

    Help users find your crates. Add keywords = ["linux-gpio", "gpio-pin", "linux-kernel", "raspberry-pi", "embedded-linux"] (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.

• gpio-utils

  • No repository property

    Specify git repository URL in Cargo.toml to help users find more information, contribute, and for lib.rs to read more info.

  • Dependency env_logger 0.5 is significantly outdated

    Upgrade to 0.11.6 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.

  • Dependency error-chain 0.12 has issues

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

  • 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?

  • Optional dependency 'futures' 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 'futures', 'tokio' may have been unintentional.

  • 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.

  • Using outdated edition for no reason

    We estimate that this crate requires at least Rust 1.69, which is newer than the last 2018-edition compiler. You can upgrade without breaking any compatibility. Run cargo fix --edition and update edition="…" in Cargo.toml.

    Using the latest edition helps avoid old quirks of the compiler, and ensures Rust code has consistent syntax and behavior across all projects.

  • Imprecise dependency requirement byteorder = 1

    Cargo does not always pick latest versions of dependencies! Specify the version as byteorder = "1.5.0". 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.

  • Using outdated edition for no reason

    We estimate that this crate requires at least Rust 1.56, which is newer than the last 2015-edition compiler. You can upgrade without breaking any compatibility. Run cargo fix --edition and update edition="…" in Cargo.toml.
