Separate leveldb-sys

[skade]

Hi, I'm the author of the "leveldb" crate and just wanted to split out my FFI into leveldb-sys, finding out that you already released one ;).

You implementation is further ahead in terms of implemented functions and we use a few different strategies, but I don't think there is a major issue there.

Would you mind if I merged the two to share the effort in the future and maintained the sys version together?

FWIW, my implementation is here: https://github.com/skade/leveldb-sys/blob/master/src/lib.rs

@skade Wow, I totally didn't see this message at all - very sorry to have let this sit for literally months! Yeah, if you want to take over maintenance, I'd be happy to hand it over to you. Not sure how to do that for a Cargo crate, though 😕

@andrew-d Hi!

http://doc.crates.io/crates-io.html "owner" is the subcommand you need. Just add cargo owner --add skade.

Okay, I added you to the owners of both the leveldb-sys and leveldb-rs crates, and also gave you access to this repo (if you need it for anything). Finally, there's a branch here with a build.rs that actually compiles and works (though, the tests on the main crate don't pass...)

[andrew-d]

Let me know if there's anything else you want me to do / anything I missed 😀

[skade]

I'll be in touch, I'll fly off to holidays in a few hours though, so I'm only going to check afterwards.

And thanks! 👍

No problem - enjoy your vacation! 😸

I extracted leveldb-sys to: https://github.com/skade/leveldb-sys

Removed leveldb-sys from leveldb-rs in version 0.0.6.
