cargo local-registry

This is a Cargo subcommand to ease maintenance of local registries. Support for a local registry is being added in rust-lang/cargo#2361 and will be able to redirect all Cargo downloads/requests to a registry stored locally.

This support is often useful for "offline builds" by preparing the list of all Rust dependencies ahead of time and shipping them to a build machine in a pre-ordained format. A local registry is an index and a collection of tarballs, all of which currently originate from crates.io.

The purpose of this subcommand will be to manage these registries and allow adding/deleting packages with ease.

Prerequisites

As part of the build process you will need [gcc], [openssl] and [cmake] in your PATH.

Installation

cargo install cargo-local-registry

Usage

One of the primary operations will be to create a local registry from a lock file itself. This can be done via

cargo local-registry --sync path/to/Cargo.lock path/to/registry

This command will:

• Download all dependencies from the crates.io registry
• Verify all checksums of what's downloaded
• Place all downloads in path/to/registry
• Prepare the index of path/to/registry to reflect all this information
