Hello everyone,
I’m working on a Rust project that uses GTK3 and VTE3 (via the gtk-rs, gtk3, gtk-sys, and vte-sys crates). With the arrival of GTK4 and VTE4, I’m wondering if the crates related to GTK3 and VTE3 are likely to be removed from the packages in the medium term.
Merci
according to the usage policy, typically published packages on crates.io will not be removed, except in certain very specific situations. I quote the relevant paragraph:
Crate owners can delete their crates under certain conditions: the crate has been published for less than 72 hours, or the crate only has a single owner, the crate has been downloaded less than 1000 times for each month it has been published, and the crate is not depended upon by any other crate on crates.io. If these conditions are not met, the crate will not be deleted. In exceptional cases crate owners may contact the crates.io team to request deletion of a crate that does not meet these conditions.
