I am not planning to upgrade beyond the version that rust-cargo needs at any given point in time, and packaging two versions of gix is not really feasible given the number of involved crates. 0.66 might not make the cut before the freeze, depending on when/how fast cargo upstream updates..

Thanks!

> may I ask what you need the newer version for? Does it absolutely require 0.66, or would 0.65 or 0.64 potentially work as well?

Sure. I need it for Helix (bug#1024683).

Build has succeeded with a patch to use 0.62 in the past, and most
likely will with 0.63 as well.  I guess it will work with 0.64 as well
but it is quite likely that some breakage due to my patching might go
unnoticed.
