Clarification on the metadata in semvar version

[yihuaf]

Hi, I want to ask about the metadata in the semvar version since it produces the warning:

version requirement 1.1.1+v1.0.1 for dependency libbpf-sys includes semver metadata which will be ignored, removing the metadata is recommended to avoid confusion

If I understand this correctly, the +v1.0.1 is for information only to indicate to a human reader which libbpf version is used from upstream. Therefore, if needed, we can safely remove the metadata version from cargo manifest?

Thanks for bringing this up. Yes, it can likely be ignored. See https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/resolver.html#version-metadata
