Avoid using default features of dependencies #1382
Comments
Guess no one can object to that. What would be the best way to do that? Do we need to resurrect librespotd, or do we make a separate workspace here? Also I agree on using ring instead of aws-lc again. FIPS would be the only reason right? That wouldn't matter. We should also take another look at needing both ring and rustls. I remember one didn't have AES192 anymore and the other... I forgot. |
I think we can just shuffle things about a bit and more or less keep things as they are. That's what I'll attempt to do, at least. And yes, I think it's mostly just FIPS. I think most projects are choosing to not use the new default. |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm unable to control (disable) unneeded features of librespot's dependencies when pulling librespot (as a library) into other projects. A particular example is
rustls
which librespot compiles with the default feature set e.g.logging
enabled and usingaws-lc-sys
instead of the more lightweightring
alternative.Describe the solution you'd like
I've read that libraries should avoid enabling default features of their dependencies and enable only what's required. Anything optional should be passed through for the caller to control. You can see this in libraries like ureq and hyper-rustls. From algesten/ureq#765 (comment)
But I appreciate we want to keep the librespot binary easy to use. So maybe we need to think about separating the deps of the library and the binary. The library wants to provide options, the binary is a concrete example of a particular set of options.
Additional context
I think if we did this we could then consider switching to using ring as the default cryptography implementation. I don't believe we have any actual requirement for using aws-lc and it's harder to build on some platforms.
