   8 Remove old libraries
   9 ====================
  10
  11 Should file a RM request to ftpmasters for these old crates:
  12
  13 - syntex-* were uploaded by mistake, only rustfmt 0.10 (obsolete version) depends on them
  14 - crossbeam-utils-0.2, no longer needed
  15 - bitflags-0.9, was required only by pulldown-cmark pre 0.2.0
  16 - owning-ref-0.3, was required only by lock-api pre 0.1.5
  17
  18
  19 Ready for upload (Request For Sponsor)
  20 ======================================
  21
  22 When adding a package here, and it involves updating an existing package in a
  23 semver-incompatible way, please check the reverse dependencies by running::
  24
  25     $ aptitude search '~Dlibrust-$cratename'
  26
  27 and try to verify that they won't be broken by your update. If they are, then:
  28
  29 1. Document it below ("Delayed/problematic")
  30 2. File an issue upstream to report that they should update to the new library
  31 3. Write a patch if you can get that working, and document it also below.
  32
  33 These packages (RFS) are prepared in the master branch and can be uploaded
  34 because all required dependencies are available in main::
  35
  36     rustyline (update, unblocks nix 0.13)
  37     toml_edit
  38     pretty_assertions
  39     pest_generator
  40     blake2-rfc
  41     rusty-tags (update)
  42
  43
  44 Delayed/problematic::
  45
  46     md5 (update) -- affects uuid
  47     gcc -- don't need this, completely obsoleted by cc.
  48         patch dependents to use cc instead.
  49     winutil -- dependency of hostname <- resolv-conf <- trust-dns-resolver
  50         doesn't build on linux
  51
  52     indicatif (blocked by parking_lot)
  53     statistical (blocked by num & co)
  54     hyperfine (blocked by indicatif & statistical)
  55
  56
  57 Unblocking testing migrations
