    • rq currently can't merge. Can we get a new release or shall we remove it? We will see.

      During the rustc bootstrapping testing, I encountered that the app-misc/rq in tree Rust crate is failing to compile with Rust 1.63:

       

      error: panic message is not a string literal
         --> src/value/avro.rs:173:34
          |
      173 |             Err(error) => panic!(error),
          |                                  ^^^^^
          |
      note: the lint level is defined here
         --> src/lib.rs:6:9
          |

          |         ^^^^^^^^
          = note: `#[deny(non_fmt_panics)]` implied by `#[deny(warnings)]`
          = note: this usage of panic!() is deprecated; it will be a hard error in Rust 2021
          = note: for more information, see <https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/edition-guide/rust-2021/panic-macro-consistency.html>
      help: add a "{}" format string to Display the message

      173 |             Err(error) => panic!("{}", error),
          |                                  +++++
      help: or use std::panic::panic_any instead
          |
      173 |             Err(error) => std::panic::panic_any(error),
          |                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      error: could not compile `record-query` due to previous error
      

      Upon Further investigation of the upstream repo, there has not been a new release since Nov 20, 2019, quick approaching almost three years. It seems to be abandoned.

      This is a request to trim this package from the tree due to its upstream inactivity which in turn has contributed to it not being able to compile with the latest version of Rust.
