Imprecise dependency requirement bytes = 1
Cargo does not always pick latest versions of dependencies! Specify the version as
bytes = "1.10.0"
. IfCargo.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 theminimal-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.Optional dependency 'colored' exposed as an implicit feature
Cargo automatically makes publicly-available crate features for every optional dependency, unless the dependencies are referenced using
dep:
syntax. Feature 'colored' may have been unintentional.

Latest stable release is old
It's been over 8 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?
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.
Missing categories
Categories improve browsing of lib.rs and crates.io. Add
categories = ["web-programming::http-client"]
to theCargo.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 = ["progress", "http", "http-client"]
(up to 5) to theCargo.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.

.README missing from the repository
We've searched
https://github\.com/lipanski/trello\-rs\.git
and could not find a README file there.Dependency hyper 0.7.0 is significantly outdated
Upgrade to 1.6.0 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 mockito 0.1.4 is significantly outdated
Upgrade to 1.7.0 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.
Dependency rustc-serialize 0.3.16 has issues
It may not be actively developed any more. Consider changing the dependency.

[badges.maintenance] status = "deprecated"
(or

,"passively-maintained"
).README missing from crate tarball
Cargo sometimes fails to package the
README
file. Ensure the path to theREADME
inCargo.toml
is valid, and points to a file inside the crate's directory.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.
docs.rs build failed
docs.rs site failed to build the crate, so users will have trouble finding the documentation. Docs.rs supports multiple platforms and custom configurations, so you can make the build work even if normal crate usage has special requirements.
Docs.rs doesn't need to run or even link any code, so system dependencies can simply be skipped. You can also set
cfg()
flags just for docs.rs and use them to hide problematic code.Missing keywords
Help users find your crates. Add
keywords = ["trello", "client", "progress"]
(up to 5) to theCargo.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.
If some of these crates are unmaintained and shouldn't be checked, yank them or add [badges.maintenance]
to their
status = "deprecated"Cargo.toml
.
