• thieves-cant

  • Dependency rand 0.6 is significantly outdated

    Consider upgrading to 0.9.1 to get all the fixes and improvements.

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

  • 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").

    It's an opportunity to update it to the current Rust edition.

  • Dependency clap 2 is outdated

    Consider upgrading to 4.5.37 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.

    clap versions

  • Imprecise dependency requirement clap = 2

    Cargo does not always pick latest versions of dependencies! Specify the version as clap = "4.5.37". 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.

  • Latest stable release is old

    It's been over 5 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?

  • 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.

    It's been over 7 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").

    Nightly crates tend to have a short lifespan. We're delisting them if they're not updated frequently.

  • Incorrect dependency requirement rand = *

    We could not parse it. Please check the semver syntax.

    Cargo used to be more forgiving about the semver syntax, so it's possible that an already-published crate doesn't satisfy the current rules.

  • Missing categories

    Categories improve browsing of lib.rs and crates.io. Add categories = ["games", "finance"] 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 = ["hacker", "sixpence", "transaction", "hackers"] (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.

  • 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.

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