Missing library libhandy

[floers]

Building a crate with a dependency to the libhandy crate fails on docs.rs: https://docs.rs/crate/gstore/0.2.4/builds/358169

Affected crates: gstore
Ubuntu 20.04 packages to install: libhandy-1-0

@floers are you interested in adding it yourself? https://forge.rust-lang.org/docs-rs/add-dependencies.html

[floers]

Actually I am! I will try it this weekend :)

I just realized the libhandy package is not available in 20.04 focal which the dockerfile is based on. I guess that means I have to wait for the next LTS release?

[jyn514]

Yes, unfortunately. You could try changing your build.rs so it doesn't link to libhandy, or vendoring it and building from source.

[floers]

Ok I'll try to build it from source. Thank you for your help :). Should I close this issue now? Is there a place to keep track of libraries to add when the docs.rs machine is upgraded?

[jyn514]

This issue works fine to track upgrades that need a new OS version.

I think this should be possible after #120 :)

closing this, assuming it's not needed any more.

we're on 24.04 now, #168 so adding should be easy
