Hi fellow rust packager!
For now we have two package that depend on rust-ttf-parser version 0.12 that have been
stalled in development for a long time. rusttype and plotters doesn't seem ready to
update there dependency sooner than later.
https://github.com/38/plotters/issues/333
https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/rusttype/-/issues/148
Sadly these two crate are very important for a lot of other crates. The best approach
would be to create a compat package so others can be update.
I already request a rust-owned_ttf_parser0.12 repo for rusttype. Somebody from rust-sig
or the maintainer of rust-ttf-parser could request a rust-ttf-parser0.12 repo to permit
the update to version 0.15 in the main repo.
I can build the update for owned_ttf_parser, owned_ttf_parser0.12, ab_glyph, fontdb and
fontdue once the necessary side-tag are create. We can always restrict these change to
rawhide and f36 to ease these change, if necessary.
Thanks for your time!
Hey,
I can create a ttf-parser 0.12 compat package and update ttf-parser to
version 0.15.0.
Do you want me to open side tags for you to build the rest of the
packages in, or would you rather do that yourself?
