Process Cargo deny.toml

[pombredanne]

cargo deny is a fairly popular cargo plugin to enforce -among other things- a license policy or to clarify, aka. curate licenses and other data. See:

• https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny
• https://docs.rs/cargo-deny/latest/cargo_deny/

See an example at:

• https://github.com/emilk/egui/blob/3c7ad0ee12a794fa81882e8364e3f25e5d8c11d6/deny.toml#L81

Hi @pombredanne, I’d like to take this up. I’m planning to add a CargoDenyHandler to parse deny.toml files and pull out license policies, allowed/denied licenses, and any package exceptions.

Will open a PR soon.

Hi @pombredanne, I’ve just opened PR #4805 to add a CargoDenyHandler for parsing deny.toml files (for issue #3978). Everything’s passing locally on my side.

Whenever you get a chance, I’d really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
