Hi all,
I'm interested in packaging a couple of applications written in rust for openSUSE (e.g. SSH Permit A38 - https://github.com/ierror/ssh-permit-a38, fselect - https://github.com/jhspetersson/fselect, rargs - https://github.com/lotabout/rargs, etc.).
I've had a look at rust2rpm (https://pagure.io/fedora-rust/rust2rpm) but it doesn't currently work for me as 1) resulting spec cannot be built as none of the dependencies are available (it generates deps of the form `crate(clap) >= 2.30.0`); and 2) not all packages are published to https://crates.io/
I also see all/most of the existing packages in Tumbleweed for rust-based apps (e.g. ripgrep, fd, bat, exa, etc.) use a `vendor.tar.xz` tarball containing dependencies as a second `Source` and then instruct cargo to use those instead of going to https://crates.io/, however I can't find any documentation on how to create such packages and tarballs.
Can anyone share any knowledge or point me in the right direction to help me get started?
I maintain svgcleaner which is, for its CLI part, written in rust and use a vendor.tar.xz archive.
You can create this archive using 'cargo-vendor'
``` cargo install cargo-vendor ```
then, in the project home directory you just have to launch
``` cargo vendor ```
This will create a vendor directory that you can turn into a tar.xz archive and use as secondary source in your specfile.
Stasiek Michalski (hellcp) is helping with bootstrapping devel:languages:rust:crates so that vendoring crates will no longer be required for applications. At the moment, we don't yet have that done, but hopefully soon the rust2rpm method will enable painless packaging for rust applications. :) -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
