How to track gitoxide releases

[kpcyrd]

Summary 💡

Hello!

I maintain the Arch Linux package of gitoxide and I'm having trouble keeping track of "what's the latest version of gitoxide (the program)". :)

The release notifications are unfortunately way too noisy for me to subscribe to and I noticed there's no clear pattern of tags. There are tags like v0.30.0 and v0.34.0, no version tags for everything in between (correction: there are tags, just no github releases) but uploads to gitoxide on crates.io.

I've settled on using this nvchecker config:

[gitoxide]
source = "cratesio"
github = "gitoxide"

But a user has tagged the gitoxide 0.33.0 as out-of-date, pointing to the v0.34.0 release tag which is missing on crates.io however. I also noticed there's a gix crate (which is the actual program that Arch Linux ships, along with the ein binary) that's already on version 0.58.0.

Guidance much appreciated! :)

Motivation 🔦

Provide the latest version of gitoxide to Arch Linux users.

since the imap version was already merged into the core by https://github.com/ruby/net-imap/pull/63 I think we should do the same here

until then, you can use the original gem https://github.com/nfo/gmail_xoauth

I didn't know it got merged into core! Thanks for the heads up.

The reason for my original question was because I would like to use this in combination with rails. I guess once it's merged into core, we'll need to report this to rails and open up a merge request to support the feature.

People keep bugging me about not supporting XOAUTH2 for secure managing their email workflow but I'm only 1 guy 😆
