cargo-outdated

Linux:

A cargo subcommand for displaying when Rust dependencies are out of date

About

cargo-outdated is a very early proof-of-concept for displaying when dependencies have newer versions available.

Compiling

Follow these instructions to compile cargo-outdated, then skip down to Installation.

1. Ensure you have current version of cargo and Rust installed
2. Clone the project $ git clone https://github.com/kbknapp/cargo-outdated && cd cargo-outdated
3. Build the project $ cargo build --release
4. Once complete, the binary will be located at target/release/cargo-outdated

Installation and Usage

All you need to do is place cargo-outdated somewhere in your $PATH. Then run cargo outdated anywhere in your project directory. For full details see below.

Linux / OS X

You have two options, place cargo-outdated into a directory that is already located in your $PATH variable (To see which directories those are, open a terminal and type echo "${PATH//:/\n}", the quotation marks are important), or you can add a custom directory to your $PATH

Option 1 If you have write permission to a directory listed in your $PATH or you have root permission (or via sudo), simply copy the cargo-outdated to that directory # sudo cp cargo-outdated /usr/local/bin

Option 2 If you do not have root, sudo, or write permission to any directory already in $PATH you can create a directory inside your home directory, and add that. Many people use $HOME/.bin to keep it hidden (and not clutter your home directory), or $HOME/bin if you want it to be always visible. Here is an example to make the directory, add it to $PATH, and copy cargo-outdated there.

Simply change bin to whatever you'd like to name the directory, and .bashrc to whatever your shell startup file is (usually .bashrc, .bash_profile, or .zshrc)

sh $ mkdir ~/bin $ echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" >> ~/.bashrc $ cp cargo-outdated ~/bin $ source ~/.bashrc

Windows

On Windows 7/8 you can add directory to the PATH variable by opening a command line as an administrator and running

sh C:\> setx path "%path%;C:\path\to\cargo-outdated\binary"

Otherwise, ensure you have the cargo-outdated binary in the directory which you operating in the command line from, because Windows automatically adds your current directory to PATH (i.e. if you open a command line to C:\my_project\ to use cargo-outdated ensure cargo-outdated.exe is inside that directory as well).

Options

There are a few options for using cargo-outdated which should be somewhat self explanitory.

``` USAGE: cargo outdated [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -R, --root-deps-only Only check root dependencies (Equivilant to --depth=1) -V, --version Prints version information -v, --verbose Print verbose output

OPTIONS: -d, --depth How deep in the dependency chain to search (Defaults to all dependencies when omitted) -p, --package ... Package to inspect for updates ```
