Allow deriving traits on the Error

[Yamakaky]

Possible syntax:

error_chain! {
  derive { Eq, PartialEq }
  ...
}

We may have to add a trait which the chained errors would have to implement.

Should this be done as "attrs" or something that would also allow passing attributes for proc macro crates like serde_derive?

Any news? Ran into this problem while I was trying to use pseudo :)

[ivanovaleksey]

Hello, are there any updates in this?

[lneicelis]

Any updates?

[kpcyrd]

I've switched to failure in the meantime, and then switched to anyhow after that, I'm not sure if people still work on error-chain

[Yamakaky]

no, anyhow + thiserror is better so I don't think there is more work on error-chain.

[AndyGauge]

error-chain does not have new features developed, but there is an effort to keep it working as breaking changes are introduced from rust-lang. Probably better to find a different library (if you even need one) for new projects.

Thank you!
