All crates inside byron/google-apis-rs are now unmaintained (google-drive3, google-youtube3, etc.) #1945

Closed OMGeeky closed 2 months ago

OMGeeky commented 3 months ago

The maintainer of the github repo just archived the repo with following message: https://github.com/Byron/google-apis-rs/commit/5ef382311010c19e79caf7f32f2d44fd8ddb328f

These crates have been published under the google-* prefix in the early days of the Rust ecosystem, but by now it has become more of an issue as Google might become interested in publishing their own, and wondering why someone unaffiliated would take their name.

For that reason, these crates are now unmaintained and shall be handed over to Google when they choose to release their own.

WARNING

The following crates are not under my control and have been published by another party

  • google-privateca1-cli
  • google-recaptchaenterprise1-cli
  • google-resourcesettings1-cli

Use at your own risk.

They wrote the crates will be handed over to Google when they want to create their own, but that might still take quite some time or never actually happen under these names.

This affects quite a lot of crates and came without any warning.

The maintainer reversed that step (but is now looking for a new maintainer)
