structopt is a derive wrapper around clap v2. As of clap v3, the derive wrapper is included with clap under the derive feature flag. A migration guide is available for users wishing to switch.

Both clap v2 and structopt are in maintenance mode. They both depend on ansi_term which is unmaintained.

I've seen users posting here and elsewhere who are unaware of the migration. Dependabot, cargo outdated, and cargo upgrade won't report anything.

Brainstorming:

  • Pin an issue about the maintenance status
  • See if rustsec can add this to their warnings discouraging some crates in favor of others
    • The focus here is on "no maintainer" (no one available in case of vulnerability) so it'd be stretching things
  • Move this repo into the clap repo
  • Add #[deprecated] attributes to the trait methods
  • Have the derive inject a deprecated function and a call to it

  • I'm not sure an pinned issue would change anything
  • Not sure that's rustsec job, there is no vulerability known in clap v2 for a long time, so no much risk.
  • Same, moving the structopt repo will not change.
  • Deprecation is annoying.

But maybe the interesting part is that cargo outdated and friend don't report anything. Maybe I can publish a structopt v0.4 (or v1?) that is empty and point to clap v3, for easy discoverability?

Yeah. didn't call that out but it seems like it'd be nice to have a database for cargo outdated that fills a purpose besides rustsec.

If you are up for a dummy release, that works too.

We could always flag informational = unmaintained on structopt if @TeXitoi agrees ?

We flag informational advisories routinely to deprecate or handle superceded crates when the maintainer asks us to do so.

Note ansi_term was deprecated so we've had to include structopt/clap2 specific advice there.
