I mis-wrote this -- it should have said we want lazy_static 1.3.0, but we currently have 1.2.0. talking with kpcyrd and silwol[m] and Sylvestre on #debian rust today, i think i gained enough insight and confidence to go ahead with this upgrade. First, we discussed whether to target unstable or experimental. the rough sense of the group was that unstable is ok. if we come up with targeted fixes we want in buster before the release, we might use testing-proposed-updates for that. I also learned that lazy_static has a spin feature that is versioned against spin 0.5.0 (0.4.10 is in testing), so upgrading spin initially is probably advisable. An updated spin is needed in other projects too, so this update appears to be concretely useful. finally, because of the semantic versioning, 1.3.0 is supposed to be a safe upgrade from 1.2.0. Indeed, other packages should have their build (and runtime) dependencies set to just care about the major version (and maybe >= some minor version, but upstream is supposed to avoid any breaking changes in minor updates as long as the major version is already >= 0. So i've uploaded this package. If there are problems with the upload or the process, please let me know. --dkg
