Hi @jnicholls !
Thanks for the heads up !
My preferred option is to manage without ring-algorithm
/ find an alternative / implement on our own.
@survived , @elichai What do you think ?
We use this crate just to implement egcd
and mod_inv
algorithms for num-bigint
backend. We can just copypast these two functions for now
We've just released v0.8.0-rc2
with removed dependency on ring-algorithm
crate
The author of ring-algorithm yanked all versions older than 0.4.0 from crates.io earlier today, after changing the project's license from
MIT OR Apache-2.0
toAGPL-3.0-or-later
. AGPL is not very permissive at all; even though there are no modifications to its source being made, this is still too risky for most to take on. Thus, I would not recommend upgrading to the 0.4.0 version, and instead take the following approach:The project is current unbuildable without some cargo patching, so hopefully this will get attention posthaste. Thanks.
