Hi all,

wanted to chime to give an update/perspective from my end. The library 
is now mostly rewritten in Rust. I would like to see it updated to its 
latest version, and its librust- part provided as new package. This is 
because glycin, which is the new default image loader for GNOME, now has 
a RAW loader too, which would require a recent (rust) libopenraw. While 
that loader is still optional, I would like to enable it at some point. 
Upstream stated that they will keep using libopenraw as their loader 
since it's rust (and not C).
.
Updating libopenraw would require the following new crates to be 
packaged:
fallible_collections, multiversion, multiversion-macros, 
target-features.
I won't be packaging those, because I already maintain quite a few.
I'd be willing to review/sponsor/help with any work leading up to get 
libopenraw current again though.

best,

werdahias
