Ring: Publish on crates.io

[badboy]

Is there any reason this is not yet published on crates.io?

Is there any reason this is not yet published on crates.io?

I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I think most people can use git = "https://github.com/briansmith/ring" in their Cargo.toml so I'm not sure what the advantage of being on crates.io is.

Can a crate on crates.io use git = "https://github.com/briansmith/ring", or does crates.io require that all the dependencies be on crates.io too?

AFAIK crates on crates.io can use Git dependencies, at least last time I checked.

[badboy]

Yup, @SShrike is right. Crates on crates.io need to have all their dependencies on crates.io as well.
If no technically reason prohibts that, a release would be nice.

No rush though.

I see. I also verified that that is the case on #rust, though I didn't try it myself.

I am going to shoot for having _ring_ on crates.io by the end of the month, if not sooner. I am hoping to improve the AEAD interface and maybe the ECC interfaces before then.

<3 Thank you!

An update on this:

I spent some time refactoring the ring::digest, ring::hmac, and ring::pbkdf2 APIs in preparation for publishing on crates.io, so that I won't (I hope) need to make breaking changes to them afterward. here are the tasks remaining:

• Refactor the asymmetric crypto API's interface.
• Enable the assembly language optimizations on Windows.

So, I am going to push this back to December.

Thanks for the hard work! I really appreciate it.
Better wait for a good and stable version to be released than to rush it.

Any progress?

Any progress?

Yes, actually we've made tons of progress. I think we could do this soon.

[briansmith]

I created the milestone crates.io to track this.

Thanks.
