Summary

Ignore Dependabot major-version bumps for rand, rand_core, and rand_chacha until the convergence decision in #257 is made.

Why

The current workspace intentionally keeps a split RNG topology:

  • helper/core crates are already on the newer rand line where RNG is an implementation detail
  • the stable crypto-edge island still carries the legacy line by design

Repeated major-bump PRs for these three crates just reopen the same deferred decision and add queue churn without changing policy.

Scope

  • update .github/dependabot.yml
  • ignore only version-update:semver-major for rand, rand_core, and rand_chacha
  • leave all other cargo and GitHub Actions updates alone

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses the ongoing churn from Dependabot's major version update suggestions for rand related crates. By temporarily ignoring semver-major updates for rand, rand_core, and rand_chacha, the project defers these changes until a strategic decision regarding the overall RNG topology is made, as discussed in issue #257. This ensures that other dependency updates and GitHub Actions continue to be monitored and updated as usual, while reducing noise from these specific, currently unactionable major bumps.

Highlights

  • Dependabot Configuration: Configured Dependabot to ignore major version updates for the rand, rand_core, and rand_chacha dependencies.
Changelog
  • .github/dependabot.yml
    • Added ignore rules for rand, rand_core, and rand_chacha to prevent Dependabot from creating pull requests for version-update:semver-major.
Activity
  • No specific activity (comments, reviews, or progress updates) has been recorded for this pull request yet.

Code Review

This pull request updates the Dependabot configuration to ignore major version updates for rand, rand_core, and rand_chacha. This change is intended to reduce noise from Dependabot PRs while a decision on the project's RNG dependency strategy is pending. The modification to .github/dependabot.yml correctly implements this by adding explicit ignore rules. I have added one suggestion to use YAML anchors to reduce repetition and improve the maintainability of the configuration file.

To improve maintainability and reduce repetition, you can use YAML anchors and aliases. This keeps the list of ignored dependencies explicit while ensuring that if the update-types rule needs to change in the future, it only has to be modified in one place.

    ignore:
      - dependency-name: "rand"
        update-types: &ignore_major_rng
          - "version-update:semver-major"
      - dependency-name: "rand_core"
        update-types: *ignore_major_rng
      - dependency-name: "rand_chacha"
        update-types: *ignore_major_rng
