sccache 0.2.7 no longer installs from crates.io

[neoeinstein]

sccache 0.2.7 depends on ring ^0.12.1, but all compatible versions of the ring crate have been yanked. Because of this, it is now impossible to install sccache 0.2.7 using cargo install from crates.io.

Ah, this is unfortunate! I've been putting off shipping a new release because we had a bunch of in-progress work but I guess I should just do it to fix this issue.

Hi @luser, is there an ETA on when this is going to be fixed? We use/rely on sccache in our CI builds to (greatly) speed up the build.

I'd suggest the following. To eliminate risk in breakage with "a bunch of in-progress work", please create a branch off the 0.2.7 tag to develop a simple bugfix instead, and release that as soon as possible. (This might be as easy and bumping the ring dependency?)

Thanks!

Since we're not getting a timely response on fixing cargo install and I'm having issues with current master, I've created a branch of 0.2.7 which points at the compatible version of ring - 0.2.7...petemill:0.2.7-fix-ring-dep

You can install from cli:

cargo install --git https://github.com/petemill/sccache.git --rev 5ce26c30c16ecd14ff16ec53bb242340ca402423

@luser can we get a small 0.2.8 publish using the above?

[luser]

Apologies, there was terrible timing on all of this as I was out of the country for several days. I don't see any showstopper issues that have been filed recently, or any open PRs that seem like they absolutely need to be landed before a 0.2.8 so I'll just tag and release what's currently on master today.

[luser]

We still have a patch for tiny_http in Cargo.toml which blocks releasing directly from master:
tiny-http/tiny-http#151 (comment)

I've created a branch and added a commit that removes that patch on the branch and will release 0.2.8 from that branch.

[luser]

Released 0.2.8:

• https://crates.io/crates/sccache/0.2.8
• https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/releases/tag/0.2.8

Sorry for all the inconvenience, but thanks to all of you for using sccache and letting us know about your problems!
