[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1001135: rust-nom: new upstream version needed for full functionality in sniffglue.

[Peter Michael Green]

Package: rust-nom
x-debbugs-cc: git at rxv.cc, nikos at tsipinakis.com

I updated sniffglue to 0.14.0 when trying to unblock some semver 
transitions.
Since I did not want to further increase the tangle of transitions I 
patched it to
work with the versions of crates currently in Debian. Unfortunately this 
meant
I had to disable the newly added ICMP support in sniffglue because it 
required
a new version of pktparse which in turn required a new version of nom.

Now that those semver transitions are complete I decided to take a look at
what would be involved in updating nom.  I came up with the following list.

newsboat: not packaged through debcargo-conf, looks like upstream the 
nom dependency was just patched without any code changes, so hopefully 
we either update to a new upstream or do the same locally.
rust-cexpr: 0.4.0 -> 0.6.0
   rust-bindgen: 0.59.1 -> 0.59.2
rust-config: not in testing, no upstream update, investigate patching
rust-der-parser: not in testing, new upstream has new dependencies, no 
rdeps in the achive, investigate patching but if patching doesn't work 
out I think this one can be ignored.
rust-dhcp4r: 0.2.0 -> 0.2.3
   enum-primitive-derive: 0.1.2 -> 0.2.2
rust-hdrhistogram: not in testing, already broken
rust-iso8601: 0.4.0 -> 0.4.1
rust-pktparse: 0.5.0 -> 0.7.0
   rust-sniffglue: drop patches
rust-rusticata-macros: 2.0.4 -> 4.0.0
   rust-der-parser: see above
rust-sniffglue: drop patches
rust-tls-parser: 0.9.2 -> 0.11.0
   new dependencies: nom-derive and nom-derive-impl
   rust-sniffglue: drop patches

This is more than i'm willing to take on on my own, but I would be
willing to provide help and sponsorship.
