Internal: Upgrade to clap 4.0 or 3.0
ohsayan opened this issue · comments
We're still on the 2.x release of clap, and the current major version of clap is 4.0. The reason we skipped the 3.0 update was because support for yaml files was removed in favor of a derive-based API. Although this is trivial to rewrite in the case of the other binaries, it isn't an entirely simple task in the case of the skyd binary because the config module relied on a lot of machinery that clap 2.x supported. Although I believe I did raise this with clap's team and they rolled out a release with support for the library fns that we needed, we haven't had a chance to upgrade since then. If someone wants to help upgrade the code, I'll be happy to mentor, else I'll do it later when I have the time.
Progress on upgrades:
Hey @ohsayan , happy to lend a hand with this one - Discord a good place to talk about this?
