potential binary bloat caused by `matchers`

[mokurin000]

Feature Request

Crates

tracing-subscriber

Motivation

tracing-subscriber depends on matchers,
which depends on old regex-autometa,
results a huge binary bloating when users want to use latest regex.

While there are two PR to bump dependency, may the owner havn't had time to review.

Proposal

Fork matchers and publish a matchers2 if hawhw don't want to transfer that crate.

Alternatives

Still wait until @hawkw merged the bump-dep PR

@hawkw any chance you'll have time soon to look into updating matchers? There are PRs open already.

Hi! Just want to chime in that this is something we noticed was duplicated in our tree. It looks like this is blocked waiting for

• Update to regex-automata v0.4 hawkw/matchers#5

[asomers]

matchers 0.2.0 is published now, which fixes the problem.

[jplatte]

matchers was upgraded in #3033.

This appears to be blocked on a release of tracing-subscriber that is being tracked here: #3282. Just sharing because it took a bit of following links to discover that while the dep has been bumped, the release including that bump is not available yet.
