Why bb8-redis can't support redis features?

[cheban96]

I want use redis script but for bb8-redis features is disable default-features = false
How i can enabled them?

By depending on redis directly in your downstream crate and enabling the features there. If you want I'd welcome a PR that adds forwarding features to bb8-redis.

I'm using bb8 and would like to fix this, but I can really use a hand.

1. What does it mean by depending on redis directly on your downstream crate? Does it mean to have both bb8 and redis-rs? If so, could you please elaborate more on how to connect them? I tried but the error is too much for me.
2. I understand the term forwarding features, but still have no idea how to implement after browsing round. Best I could find is having local patches, which is also what I have been doing, so could you please provide some links/guide?

Thank you!

1. Yes, you'd have dependencies for both. Have to make sure they're using the same version, though.
2. I meant sending a PR that adds lines like "foo" = ["redis/foo"] to the bb8-redis Cargo.toml.
