gio: Add "D-Bus" and "DBus" to Cargo.toml keywords and description#1935
Merged
Conversation
One good way to keep Rust binary sizes down when using D-Bus is to use `gio`’s D-Bus bindings and link dynamically to the system `libgio-2.0.so`. However, if you’re not already aware that `gio` provides D-Bus bindings, it’s hard to discover that it does. For example, searching for "dbus" on https://crates.io/ does not list `gio` as an alternative. This commit addresses that by including the terms "D-Bus" and "DBus" in the `gio` package keywords and description. We include both "D-Bus" and "DBus" because that’s what other D-Bus crates, such as [`dbus`][1] and [`zbus`][2], also do. ### Steps to reproduce 1. Go to https://crates.io/search?q=dbus&sort=downloads ### Expected result `gio` is listed on the first page. ### Actual result `gio` is not listed at all, despite having enough total downloads to qualify for the top 10 results.

Just checking: am I expected to do something before this can be merged? I've noticed CI fails for example, but that does not seem to be caused by this PR? |
