Description Fabio Valentini 2023-03-13 13:17:28 UTC
c.f. https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2021-0153.html

The last release of the "encoding" crate was on 2016-08-28, and the last commit in the git repository of the project on GitHub was on 2017-07-11.

The "encoding_rs" crate is listed as a possible replacement.

The following Rust packages in Fedora depend on the "encoding" crate:

- librsvg2
- bat
- compress-tools
- lopdf
- tendril
- url (v1)

I plan to mark the "rust-encoding-devel" package with "Provides: deprecated()" to ensure no new packages in Fedora start depending on it, and will file additional bugs for all dependent packages.

Comment 1 Fabio Valentini 2023-06-12 09:49:57 UTC
librsvg2 seems to have switched from the "encoding" to the "encoding_rs" crate since I filed this bug.

Comment 2 Fedora Release Engineering 2023-08-16 07:11:34 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
