pub struct PackageRegistry<'cfg> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

This structure represents a registry of known packages. It internally contains a number of Box<Source> instances which are used to load a Package from.

The resolution phase of Cargo uses this to drive knowledge about new packages as well as querying for lists of new packages. It is here that sources are updated (e.g., network operations) and overrides are handled.

The general idea behind this registry is that it is centered around the SourceMap structure, contained within which is a mapping of a SourceId to a Source. Each Source in the map has been updated (using network operations if necessary) and is ready to be queried for packages.

Implementations

remove all residual state from previous lock files.

Insert a [patch] section into this registry.

This method will insert a [patch] section for the url specified, with the given list of dependencies. The url specified is the URL of the source to patch (for example this is crates-io in the manifest). The deps is an array of all the entries in the [patch] section of the manifest.

Here the deps will be resolved to a precise version and stored internally for future calls to query below. deps should be a tuple where the first element is the patch definition straight from the manifest, and the second element is an optional variant where the patch has been locked. This locked patch is the patch locked to a specific version found in Cargo.lock. This will be None if Cargo.lock doesn’t exist, or the patch did not match any existing entries in Cargo.lock.

Note that the patch list specified here will not be available to query until lock_patches is called below, which should be called once all patches have been added.

The return value is a Vec of patches that should not be locked. This happens when the patch is locked, but the patch has been updated so the locked value is no longer correct.

Lock all patch summaries added via patch, making them available to resolution via query.

This function will internally lock each summary added via patch above now that the full set of patch packages are known. This’ll allow us to correctly resolve overridden dependencies between patches hopefully!

Gets all patches grouped by the source URLS they are going to patch.

These patches are mainly collected from patch. They might not be the same as patches actually used during dependency resolving.

This function is used to transform a summary to another locked summary if possible. This is where the concept of a lock file comes into play.

If a summary points at a package ID which was previously locked, then we override the summary’s ID itself, as well as all dependencies, to be rewritten to the locked versions. This will transform the summary’s source to a precise source (listed in the locked version) as well as transforming all of the dependencies from range requirements on imprecise sources to exact requirements on precise sources.

If a summary does not point at a package ID which was previously locked, or if any dependencies were added and don’t have a previously listed version, we still want to avoid updating as many dependencies as possible to keep the graph stable. In this case we map all of the summary’s dependencies to be rewritten to a locked version wherever possible. If we’re unable to map a dependency though, we just pass it on through.
