buf_redux has been archived

[maoe]

Apparently we need an alternative to buf_redux. The upstream repository was archived recently and as of v1.68.0 rustc started complaining.

warning: the following packages contain code that will be rejected by a future version of Rust: buf_redux v0.8.4
note: to see what the problems were, use the option `--future-incompat-report`, or run `cargo report future-incompatibilities --id 1`

% cargo report future-incompatibilities --id 1
The following warnings were discovered during the build. These warnings are an
indication that the packages contain code that will become an error in a
future release of Rust. These warnings typically cover changes to close
soundness problems, unintended or undocumented behavior, or critical problems
that cannot be fixed in a backwards-compatible fashion, and are not expected
to be in wide use.

Each warning should contain a link for more information on what the warning
means and how to resolve it.


To solve this problem, you can try the following approaches:


- If the issue is not solved by updating the dependencies, a fix has to be
implemented by those dependencies. You can help with that by notifying the
maintainers of this problem (e.g. by creating a bug report) or by proposing a
fix to the maintainers (e.g. by creating a pull request):

  - [email protected]
  - Repository: https://github.com/abonander/buf_redux
  - Detailed warning command: `cargo report future-incompatibilities --id 1 --package [email protected]`

- If waiting for an upstream fix is not an option, you can use the `[patch]`
section in `Cargo.toml` to use your own version of the dependency. For more
information, see:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/overriding-dependencies.html#the-patch-section

The package `buf_redux v0.8.4` currently triggers the following future incompatibility lints:

Looks like it's discussed at abonander/buf_redux#23.

[asayers]

I actually have an ancient branch which gets rid of buf_redux. I’ll dig it out and see what state it’s in when I get some time.

[asayers]

See the v2 branch: https://github.com/asayers/pcarp/tree/v2

[asayers]

Version 2.0.0 was released, and no longer uses buf_redux.
