| 59 | Dependencies on clippy | |
| 60 | ---------------------- | |
| 61 | 61 | |
| 62 | Great news, we started to upload packages in the archives. 22 have been accepted | |
| 63 | and about 20 are pending in NEW. | |
| 62 | Patch away dependencies on "clippy" unless it is a "real" dependency. Usually | |
| 63 | crates only use clippy to lint themselves and it is not a "real" dependency | |
| 64 | in the sense that they actually import clippy's code for what they do. | |
| 64 | 65 | |
| 66 | If you want to be sure, `rg clippy` and check that all the usages of it are | |
| 67 | inside `cfg_attr` declarations. If so, then just get rid of it. | |

| 69 | Architecture-specific crates | |
| 70 | ---------------------------- | |
| 68 | 71 | |
| 69 | We are about to upload a few hundred rust packages to Debian. Do not submit | |
| 70 | ITPs for these, it is unnecessary since we're the only ones uploading, there is | |
| 71 | no chance of conflict, and it is only spam for the bug tracker. Please instead | |
| 72 | co-ordinate uploads on the #debian-rust IRC channel. | |
| 72 | See simd and redox-syscall for examples on how to deal with these. | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | If this is unclear, ask on IRC. | |
| 75 | ||
| 76 | ITPs | |
| 77 | ---- | |
| 78 | ||
| 79 | Don't file ITPs for library crates, but do file them for binary crates. | |
| 80 | ||
| 81 | For now (updated 2018-09) we have several hundred crates to upload. Submitting | |
| 82 | ITPs for these is unnecessary since we're the only ones uploading and there is | |
| 83 | no chance of conflict. It would only be spam for the bug tracker. Please | |
| 84 | instead co-ordinate uploads on the #debian-rust IRC channel. | |
