I do intend to get this submitted soon, and in chromeos we will be using flashrom_tester -> rust bindings -> libflashrom to 'AVL' qualify new flash chips for inclusion in chromeos devices. > > Though, when the plans and ideas get more concrete, then it might make > sense to use a separate repository for it.

The API versioning does sound like a big topic, I do prefer to continue in the same repo if possible as it does sidestep those issues for now. When a strong libflashrom versioning story emerges we can move things around. The rust binding uses -pre 1.0 versioning to indicate that there is no compatibility between versions. For packaging I can exclude the rust bindings from the flashrom tarball, and to make a rust binding tarball `cargo package` can be used. > > > > Imo the separate repositories in combination with some gerrit bots > > might be the best solution to make everyone happy.
