Tag: empty-rust-library-declares-provides
Severity: error
Check: languages/rust
Explanation: For some time, Rust libraries used empty installation packages
with long Provides lines in their control files to deal with peculiarities
in Rust packaging. It is no longer considered acceptable because it strains
our archive infrastructure.
.
Rust packages should not be empty and merely declare a Provides control
field. Instead, please merge such packages into the main installation
package. When using <code>debcargo</code>, this can usually be achieved by
adding <code>collapse_features = true</code> to the
<code>debcargo.toml</code> file.
.
You can see some examples here:
.
- https://sources.debian.org/src/rust-dbus/0.9.0-2/debian/control/
- https://sources.debian.org/src/rust-x11rb/0.7.0-1/debian/control/
.
The decision to burden the Rust packaging team with that extra step was
made after weighing all possible alternatives.
