There's no inherent reason why we should use future-based concurrency in build.rs. We don't spawn many futures and we don't make use of any of the nice patterns made possible by structured concurrency. The downside of using futures is that we have to pull in a bunch of dependencies. Switching to sync code and removing the dependencies resulted in a nice performance improvement (35s -> 30s). Also, it's just good practice to reduce the number of unneeded dependencies especially if some of them are unmaintained.

@phil-opp please remove the "Test (macos-12)" required check in the repository settings. The macos-12 platform no longer exists. I don't have access to these settings for this repo. |
