Publish on crates.io

Your implementation is the only one in Rust, it's unique and would have been useful for many. It definitely is for me. Publishing it would bring the joy to more people as well as attract more potential contributors.

I was pointed to another implementation in Fuchsia's Future eXperience tool suite:
https://cs.opensource.google/fuchsia/fuchsia/+/main:src/developer/ffx/lib/fastboot/interface/src/fastboot_interface.rs
https://cs.opensource.google/fuchsia/fuchsia/+/main:src/developer/ffx/lib/usb_fastboot_discovery/src/lib.rs

@orangecms nice finding, though it depends on Fuchsia traits, so it's not easy to use as a separate code without slight modification. Thus, I think, your fork still needs to be published on crates.

[orangecms]

Sure, my intent was just to add the reference so we can check if anything is missing or we get stuck etc..

I'm seeing about ironing out a few things and will then take care of publishing.

Here is the corresponding tracking issue in my fork:
platform-system-interface#2

It's a shame I missed the notifications on this repo. When I started this project, it was only useful for me, but since more people showed interest, I will resume working on it.
@orangecms, since you forked it and I see there's plenty of progress done in your repo - do you want to combine efforts or do you just want to keep working on your fork?

[orangecms]

Oh I'd love to combine efforts! When I got something working well enough, I had shifted my focus on other things. 😅
Though I do recall running into issues every now and then between devices, and the upstream spec is unclear about a few things.
I'd want to have a look again and discuss the questions I ran into, hope they can be resolved.

Yea GitHub's default settings kinda don't get you notifications by default, I've had that many times now and had to set it for each repo. >_<

I will then backport your work into this repo and then publish it on crates.io, will that be ok with you?

Totally, just go ahead - and if there are questions, feel free to reach out! :)
