Overhaul feature flags for DNSSEC / crypto#553
Merged
Conversation
- 'ring' and 'openssl' now enable a shared 'unstable-crypto-backend' feature, which is used internally to test whether a common backend is available. - Examples / doc tests in 'crypto', relying on 'crypto::common', have been moved to the submodule to avoid needing more 'cfg' magic. - 'unstable-crypto' now enables 'std'; this requirement was previously undetected (and the CI will be adjusted to try to catch more of these over time), but compilation would fail without it. - 'unstable-sign' and 'unstable-validator' now fail to compile if 'ring' and/or 'openssl' are not enabled. Previously, those modules would remain configured out. Its status as a breaking change is debatable, but in any case it only affects unstable features.

This should also fix the CI failure in #547. |

Can we rename it to 'internal-crypto-backend' or any other convention to show that something is not to be used? |

I think having a separate prefix for internal features would indeed be good. I don’t think we need a separate prefix for internal unstable features, though, given that they not user-facing, anyway. |
