This crate provides crate::utils::Colo, which is actually vec_arena::Arena with all names replaced, doc comments stripped, and copyright notices removed. The author released a series of crates with similar contents. See my review on orano 0.0.1 for a list of such crates.

This crate is not actively malicious.


Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories. There is absolutely no guarantee that the repository URL declared by the crate belongs to the crate, or that the code in the repository is the code inside the published tarball.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open pella. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of pella v0.0.1 or view the source online.
