This fork tracks upstream birkenfeld/arexibo for source code. Cargo dependencies are upstream's territory — letting dependabot bump them here just diverges us from upstream for no benefit (the same bumps replay automatically the next time we rebase on upstream). Keep github-actions ecosystem: our .github/workflows/ are entirely fork-local (RPM/DEB packaging + release machinery upstream has no equivalent of), so workflow action SHA bumps are genuinely our infra to track. Companion: 8 open cargo dependabot PRs (shlex, nix, subprocess, dbus, clap, rand, indexmap, cargo group) will be closed alongside this PR with an explanatory comment. Already-merged cargo bumps (md-5, indexmap, bytes) stay carried for now — they'll be reconciled on the next upstream rebase rather than reverted.

Summary
Drop the
cargoecosystem from.github/dependabot.yml. Keepgithub-actions.Why: this fork tracks upstream
birkenfeld/arexibofor source code. Bumping crates here just diverges us from upstream for no benefit. Our.github/workflows/are entirely fork-local (RPM/DEB packaging + release machinery), so workflow action SHA bumps remain genuinely our infra to track — those stay.Companion: 8 open cargo dependabot PRs (#62 shlex, #57 nix, #54 subprocess, #53 dbus, #48 clap, #47 rand, #43 indexmap, #40 cargo group) will be closed once this lands. The 3 reusable-pin bumps (#56 build-deb, #59 build-rpm, #61 create-release) are replaced by a manual companion PR — see #66.
Test plan
.github/dependabot.ymlparses (yaml syntax).chore(deps): bump <cargo-crate>PRs will appear from dependabot.chore(deps): bump <github-action>PRs continue to appear weekly (verifies the github-actions ecosystem still works).Risk
Zero. Single-file metadata change. Reversible by re-adding the block.
