The ioctl-sys
crate doesn't seem to be actually deprecated. Only ioctl
is (but they are unaffiliated, strangely).

You're right, ioctl-sys
is officially not deprecated but the latest release was Mar 17, 2017 and the latest commit was 20 Apr 2017 whereas the latest nix was released Feb 4, 2020 and is maintained by a large number of contributors.
Sure, but it's small and stable, there's no outstanding issues in the repo, and I don't believe that you have to put out releases just to show activity. nix
's scope is much, much broader so there's no surprise it needs (and gets) much more maintenance.
Still, maybe we'll need nix
for other things in the future, so I'm fine with this (after comments are addressed). (Can't test with real HW at the moment either, though.)

You're right. So lets ignore my PR ;-) If there will be any problems in the future we can discuss again.
@birkenfeld Could you have a look at the used nix macros? At the moment I can't test the code :-\
