Crate `charx` is looking for maintainers

announcements
#1

charx provides char functions that can be used as a Pattern where the built-in char functions otherwise cannot. See https://crates.io/crates/charx and charx - Rust for details.

This is a pretty simple crate so it should not be a huge maintenance effort.

#2

I could probably take it. I can’t find the repo though, what kind of maintenance is needed? Are there any open issues? Ideas for improvement?

#3

we didn't make a repo when putting it on crates.io because it's such a simple crate. it really is just "track char::*(&self) -> bool and copy it to charx::*(char) -> bool". is there a way to get the code out of crates.io or should we make an actual repo?

#4

Yes, you can download the .crate bundle and unpack it using tar, or you can fetch the source from your local cargo cache if you have used it. It differs a bit from the original source though. Some files may be omitted for example and Cargo.toml is machine generated. (Cargo.toml.orig contains the original file)

If this request is still open, I can take over. This looks like the perfect small maintenance piece for me.

#7

git clone https://soniex2.autistic.space/git-repos/charx.git is the repo, let us know if you want the crate. (not sure how to do the crate stuff tho.)

#8

Thank you.

I have downloaded and set it up on github. I will shortly add automatic compilation and other bells and whistles to it.

Meanwhile, if you want to transfer the crate, you can go to the settings page of https://crates.io/crates/charx and add me as an owner. That will allow me to get publish access to it. My username is AliSajid.

Thank you so much for entrusting me with this.
