Hi Andreas and everyone, Patches for exa are in #39382

I would imagine that the package authors start using the release async soon. The release of async seemed like a big deal in the rust community. > - It includes bindings for libpulse (`rust-libpulse-bindings`), > inotify (`rust-inotify`), and libdbus (`rust-dbus`). Oh that's good! Maybe those can go in sooner than i3status-rust. Smaller batches with the async libraries, dbus and inotify seem pretty likely to be reused. > - I've encountered two crates with a not-already-defined license, > namely "0BSD" (`maildir` and `mailparse`). I've "faked" it for now with: > > (define license:bsd-0 > (license:fsf-free "https://spdx.org/licenses/0BSD.html"; > "BSD Zero Clause License")) I'm not sure what to do for a new license, but that reminds me that the importer doesn't understand the bsd-2 clause. Thanks and happy hacking, John
