cargo-package - Assemble the local package into a distributable
tarball
This command will create a distributable, compressed .crate
file with the source code of the package in the current directory. The
resulting file will be stored in the target/package directory. This
performs the following steps:
1.Load and check the current workspace, performing some
basic checks.
•Path dependencies are not allowed unless they
have a version key. Cargo will ignore the path key for dependencies in
published packages. dev-dependencies do not have this
restriction.
2.Create the compressed
.crate file.
•The original Cargo.toml file is rewritten
and normalized.
•[patch], [replace], and
[workspace] sections are removed from the manifest.
•
Cargo.lock is automatically included if
the package contains an executable binary or example target.
cargo-install(1) will use the packaged lock file if the
--locked
flag is used.
•A .cargo_vcs_info.json file is included
that contains information about the current VCS checkout hash if available
(not included with --allow-dirty).
3.Extract the
.crate file and build it to verify
it can build.
•This will rebuild your package from scratch to
ensure that it can be built from a pristine state. The --no-verify flag
can be used to skip this step.
4.Check that build scripts did not modify any source
files.
The list of files included can be controlled with the
include and exclude fields in the manifest.
See the reference
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/publishing.html> for more
details about packaging and publishing.
-l, --list
Print files included in a package without making
one.
--no-verify
Don’t verify the contents by building them.
--no-metadata
Ignore warnings about a lack of human-usable metadata
(such as the description or the license).
--allow-dirty
Allow working directories with uncommitted VCS changes to
be packaged.
--target TRIPLE
Package for the given architecture. The default is the
host architecture. The general format of the triple is
<arch><sub>-<vendor>-<sys>-<abi>. Run
rustc --print target-list for a list of supported targets.
This may also be specified with the build.target config
value <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
Note that specifying this flag makes Cargo run in a different mode
where the target artifacts are placed in a separate directory. See the
build cache
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/build-cache.html> documentation
for more details.
--target-dir DIRECTORY
Directory for all generated artifacts and intermediate
files. May also be specified with the CARGO_TARGET_DIR environment
variable, or the build.target-dir config value
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. Defaults to
target in the root of the workspace.
When no feature options are given, the default feature is
activated for every selected package.
--features FEATURES
Space or comma separated list of features to activate.
These features only apply to the current directory’s package. Features
of direct dependencies may be enabled with
<dep-name>/<feature-name> syntax. This flag may be
specified multiple times, which enables all specified features.
--all-features
Activate all available features of all selected
packages.
--no-default-features
Do not activate the default feature of the current
directory’s package.
--manifest-path PATH
Path to the Cargo.toml file. By default, Cargo
searches for the Cargo.toml file in the current directory or any parent
directory.
--frozen, --locked
Either of these flags requires that the
Cargo.lock
file is up-to-date. If the lock file is missing, or it needs to be updated,
Cargo will exit with an error. The
--frozen flag also prevents Cargo
from attempting to access the network to determine if it is out-of-date.
These may be used in environments where you want to assert that
the Cargo.lock file is up-to-date (such as a CI build) or want to
avoid network access.
--offline
Prevents Cargo from accessing the network for any reason.
Without this flag, Cargo will stop with an error if it needs to access the
network and the network is not available. With this flag, Cargo will attempt
to proceed without the network if possible.
Beware that this may result in different dependency resolution
than online mode. Cargo will restrict itself to crates that are downloaded
locally, even if there might be a newer version as indicated in the local
copy of the index. See the cargo-fetch(1) command to download
dependencies before going offline.
May also be specified with the net.offline config
value <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
-j N, --jobs N
Number of parallel jobs to run. May also be specified
with the build.jobs config value
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. Defaults to the
number of CPUs.
-v, --verbose
Use verbose output. May be specified twice for "very
verbose" output which includes extra output such as dependency warnings
and build script output. May also be specified with the term.verbose
config value
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
-q, --quiet
No output printed to stdout.
--color WHEN
Control when colored output is used. Valid values:
•auto (default): Automatically detect if
color support is available on the terminal.
•always: Always display colors.
•never: Never display colors.
May also be specified with the term.color config
value <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
-h, --help
Prints help information.
-Z FLAG...
Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z
help for details.
See the reference
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html>
for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.
