dependencies "contain code that will be rejected by a future version of Rust"

[MightyPork]

I'm getting this warning when built using latest rustc:

warning: the following packages contain code that will be rejected by a future version of Rust: buf_redux v0.8.4, multipart v0.18.0

multipart is abandoned and buf_redux is its abandoned dependency. The cleanest fix would be to switch to something else providing multipart encoding.

I made local forks of the affected crates and fixed it, also upgraded them to 2021 edition.
The fix was trivial, mostly just adding dyn and removing some semicolons in macros.

Here's the patches needed to do that:

buf_redux:

multipart:

Thanks for the report @MightyPork - I tend to agree that switching to a maintained provider of Content-Encoding: multipart/* is probably the better solution than carrying around vendored or patched versions of old crates.

I'd accept a PR to do that, otherwise I will look at it myself when I have time.

This is, unfortunately, more trouble than it initially seemed.

Multipart and buf_redux are direct dependencies and thus fairly easy to swap out, indeed someone already maintains an updated version of buf_redux so I only had to publish an updated crate for the former.

The spanner in the works comes from traitobject which is even more unmaintained than the other two - this gets pulled in by our old-ish version of Hyper so we can't replace it with a fork as easily.

Rouille can't be the only place these new deprecation warnings are showing up so I'll see if there is any information elsewhere about what the suggested migration plan is.

Is it possible to make multipart an optional feature instead? Not everyone needs Content-Encoding: multipart/* for their applications.

Yes, but doing so is a breaking change and requires a 4.0 to do so - and I don't really think it's worthwhile for that.

Regardless you'd still be caught out by the hit on traitobject as it's via Hyper, a mandatory dep.

What is the path forward here?

There is now a somewhat recent RUSTSEC advisory for multipart that is starting to show up wherever Rouille is used. Low severity only, but would be nice to avoid.

[golddranks]

How are Hyper and traitobject relevant here? They don't seem to be dependencies of Rouille.
