crates-index feedback

[kornelski]

You're using the crates-index crate. I'm preparing to release 1.0 of the crate, and I'd like to finalize the API. Do you have any feedback or requests regarding the crate?

Not really. Our use is pretty basic, so long as it works.

For another project of mine (verifying toml_edit), I'll need to iterate through every Cargo.toml. I'm assuming getting the Cargo.tomls is out of scope for crates-index but if you had any recommendations since I assume you've done similar, I'm all ears.

Thanks.

I get Cargo.toml the hard way, by downloading the crate file:

https://gitlab.com/crates.rs/crates.rs/-/blob/main/crates_io_client/src/lib_crates_io_client.rs#L77

and extracting it:

https://gitlab.com/crates.rs/crates.rs/-/blob/main/tarball/src/lib.rs

If you want to test the broken ones, look for Cargo.toml.orig.

Looks like I need to retract my endorsement. Looks like master is dramatically different than 0.17 with there being no changelog to describe the changes, so I have no idea how well master works for my use cases

Hmm... cargo-workspaces is in the same situation. Don't know how different master is.

The differences are in the readme: https://github.com/frewsxcv/rust-crates-index#migration-from-016-and-017
