Update to nix-0.28

[neumann-paulmann]

While at it, use std::os::fd::owned::OwnedFd instead of custom implementation.

Fixes #175

[neumann-paulmann]

Hi. This looks like a MSRV issue. The changelog state that it's currently at 1.36, which is ancient while I'm developing on 1.76 currently. The latest nix supposedly has a MSRV of 1.69. Would it be possible to raise the MSRV of serialport to 1.69 as well?

[eldruin]

Hmm, this does not seem MSRV-related to me, though. Here is a run with 1.76.0: https://github.com/serialport/serialport-rs/actions/runs/8535157043/job/23396028026?pr=176#step:7:42

The MSRV is set to 1.59.0, where have you found the 1.36.0 reference? Changing the MSRV has implications related to the supported platforms. What do you think @sirhcel ?

[neumann-paulmann]

You're right. I was looking at the first issues like here: https://github.com/serialport/serialport-rs/actions/runs/8535157043/job/23396025571?pr=176#step:7:32. I, however, cannot reproduce the other issues on my machine with above version. The library builds and all tests run fine:

Hmm, this does not seem MSRV-related to me, though. [...]

No, this looks like an issue with the signedness of milliseconds in the explicit conversion from Duration. Both target types for the poll timeout support directly converting from Duration and we can work around it by using these direct conversions.

Ended up with bf7050c while looking into this. So there is just raising the MSRV left.

Changing the MSRV has implications related to the supported platforms. What do you think @sirhcel?

At a first glance at least when it comes to the Rust support shipped with Yocto. Dependents using older Yocto releases could still pin their dependency on us to a minor version and we could attempt to scan all publicly visible dependencies. And on the other hand there is also meta-rust-bin which provides the brand spanking new releases of Rust. Let me think and sleep over it.

[eldruin]

Did you have time to think about this @sirhcel ?

[sirhcel]

I finally managed to. Just to get my perspective on this right: Is bumping our nix dependency tied to switching to OwnedFd? Or is the latter a drive-by catch happening in the context of bumping nix?

I'm fine with switching to OwnedFd with a minor release as this does not look like a breaking change to me as far as I'm overseeing this as of now.

When it comes to bumping nix, I would postpone this to the next major release as this could be a breaking change for dependents still relying on our MSRV being 1.59.0. I know this is subject to general discussion but we've got our MSRV for dev builds broken recently with our dependencies serialport -> clap -> os_str_bytes (see #186). I would like to spare dependents with tighter MSRV requirements this experience.

[neumann-paulmann]

I think that changes regarding the used file descriptor objects are necessary and that the custom implementation is no longer needed. I also agree to not rush this, since it might break things as you and others correctly pointed out. I currently do not have the time to look into this further. I might be able to do some work on this in two weeks or so when I'm done with my other stuff.

[max-heller]

Given the adoption of OwnedFd, could a std::os:fd::AsFd implementation be added as well?

[JonathonReinhart]

Hi folks, what's the latest on this effort?

I'm attempting to pull this into a project that's locked-in on nix 0.28.0 so this is blocking me from using serialport.

Is there anything I can do to help move this forward?

[josch]

I'm packaging serialport for Debian which ships nix in version 0.29.0. I forward-ported the changes of this pull request.

It would be nice to see support for more recent nix in the main branch. Thank you!

[paolobarbolini]

I've made a new attempt at the nix upgrade in #263.
