Is recording extra dependencies still possible with 1.0.0-beta.1?

Question
1

I have tried to record an extra dependency using [] ABC…DE notation as suggested here, but this fails with “Syntax errors, please try again.”. Related code in parse_dependency() (parse.rs:594) is:

let (i, mut type_) = delimited(
    char('['),
    alt((
        map(u64, |n| DepType::Numbered(n as usize, false)),
        value(DepType::ExtraKnown, char('*')),
        value(DepType::ExtraUnknown, take_till(|c| c != ']')),
    )),
    char(']'),
)(i)?;

From my (weak) Rust/nom understanding, take_till(|c| c != ']') followed by char(']') can’t match anything, especially not the empty string. When changing the line to something like:

value(DepType::ExtraUnknown, take(0u8)),

or (more tolerant):

value(DepType::ExtraUnknown, take_till(|c| c != ' ')),

this will fix parsing the [] ABC…DE notation.

I have the same problem. I was happy to find out I could manually log dependencies since the automatic dependency graph has been unsatisfying. Too bad this feature is still broken.
