rust-toolchain-manifest [CHANNEL]
The channel can be either stable, beta, or nightly.
For beta and nightly channels components are split up into the
date of the channel [CHANNEL]/[YEAR]/[date].json
and a map [CHANNEL]/[YEAR]/since[date]-map.json,
that can potentially be reused by further channel updates,
in order to not save unnecessary state.
The tree of a channel will potentially look like this:
text
nightly
└── 2022
├── 2022-10-05.json
├── 2022-10-06.json
├── 2022-10-07.json
├── metadata.json
└── since-2022-10-05-map.json
metadata.json:
Saves state about the current channel.[date].json:
Saves state on the channel on the specified [date].since-[date]-map.json:
A helper map, that allows the [date].json snapshots of channels to be fairly small.
