Explain how `version` works for `git` dependencies #12270

BatmanAoD · 2023-06-14T18:16:35Z

What does this PR try to resolve?

Explains how version works for git dependencies. This confused me, and I couldn't find any mention of it e.g. on the user forums.

How should we test and review this PR?

Documentation-only change

Thanks for the PR. Just wonder if Multiple locations section has already covered this, no?

BatmanAoD · 2023-06-14T20:42:25Z

@weihanglo It actually does make things a lot clearer; I'll take another look and revise my suggestion. I didn't actually look at that section before because I didn't realize that the version key would still cause an attempt to look up the crate in a registry, so I didn't think that "multiple locations" even applied to this situation.

BatmanAoD · 2023-07-05T00:58:46Z

@weihanglo Sorry for not getting back to this sooner. How does it look now?

weihanglo

path dependencies also have the exact behavior. Is it possible to merge this into the notice below, and update for both path and git dependencies to share the similar text?

cargo/src/doc/src/reference/specifying-dependencies.md

Lines 168 to 170 in 5b377ce

    
           > **Note**: [crates.io] does not allow packages to be published with `git` 
        
           > dependencies (`git` [dev-dependencies] are ignored). See the [Multiple 
        
           > locations](#multiple-locations) section for a fallback alternative.

So maybe something like:

> **Note**: A dependency can have both a `git` and `version` keys, these are
> considered separate locations for resolving the dependency, as [crates.io]
> does not allow packages to be published with `git` dependencies (`git`
> [dev-dependencies] are ignored). See the [Multiple locations](#multiple-locations)
> section for a fallback alternative.

What do you think?

(I tried to make it concise but I believe you could do this better that me)

let me take over the review

r? @weihanglo

* Explain how `version` works for `git` dependencies * Link to multiple-locations, since this is already explained there * more extensive rewrite

BatmanAoD · 2023-08-27T19:44:32Z

I think the note about crates.io not permitting packages with git dependencies is saying something fairly different, namely that users are not permitted to publish packages on crates.io that import code from somewhere other than crates.io itself. (This note doesn't explicitly mention third-party registries, but the one a couple sections above does.)

I've made some more extensive changes to reflect that; please let me know what you think.

(The introduction of the "requirements syntax" header, and demoting of the different version-requirement syntax headers to go under that header, is technically unrelated, so let me know if I need to undo that change.)

Hmm… I guess bors was stuck, so it was never merged successfully. @BatmanAoD, could you reopen so that we can merge it again?

BatmanAoD · 2023-08-28T15:56:32Z

@weihanglo Oops, for some reason I thought it was safe to delete the branch. Restored and re-opened.
