librashader-spirv-cross has been yanked

[GPHemsley]

All versions of librashader-spirv-cross have been yanked (apparently in favor of spirv-cross2 instead of spirv-cross), which means librashader no longer builds.

[GPHemsley]

A workaround, for those who need it:

[patch.crates-io]
librashader-spirv-cross = { git = "https://github.com/chyyran/spirv_cross.git", rev = "3c11426a9055232e349c25dcf2a03e94512dbe88" }

[chyyran]

Oops, thats my bad. I probably shouldn't have done that before making the spirv-cross2 changes.

Unyanked 0.26.0 for librashader-spirv-cross.

[GPHemsley]

Two points, though:

• librashader depends on 0.25.1, and major version 0.x are not considered SemVer-compatible, so 0.26.0 doesn't help.
• It's my understanding that yanking any release is frowned upon in the Rust ecosystem except in extreme circumstances.

[chyyran]

I've unyanked 0.25.1 for now. Will be doing a 0.4.x release to deprecate librashader-spirv-cross later on.

Two justifications for yanking though (and I will be following through after librashader 0.4.x moves over to spirv-cross2)

• librashader-spirv-cross is explicitly declared an implementation detail, and is effectively a private crate. One of the main impetodes for spirv-cross2 is that people started contributing to librashader-spirv-cross because it was the most active spirv_cross fork, and I don't want people using it.

• spirv_cross and derivatives (particularly librashader-spirv-cross, because it just updates the C++ apis without checking if the bindings are used properly) are definitely unsound, which is more than enough reason to yank. Again getting rid of these soundness bugs was a major impetus for spirv-cross2, which has a much more carefully designed API around the stable C API.

[chyyran]

I'll be moving the planned ABI breaking changes to 0.5.0 since that is more of a major interruption. If you're just working with the runtime APIs going from 0.3.x to 0.4.x will involve no changes on your end, it's mostly going to be breaking on reflect and presets APIs, particularly if you use CompilerAst.

[chyyran]

Closing the loop on this issue

• librashader 0.4.0 has been released, which switches completely over to spirv-cross2. While there are semver breaking changes, they are minor fixes if any and I recommend you upgrade as soon as possible.
• All prior versions of librashader-spirv-cross have been yanked and remain yanked.
• A 0.25.3 release has been published for librashader-spirv-cross that spews deprecation warnings everywhere. This will be the final version published, and will be yanked upon the release of librashader 0.5.0.
