SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexity of managing dependencies across multiple Rust crates within a single workspace, ensuring version consistency and efficient development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version Synchronization: Automatically keeps version numbers consistent across all crates in a workspace.
  • MSRV Policy Enforcement: Helps define and test the Minimum Supported Rust Version for your project.
  • Dependency Constraint Best Practices: Guides on setting explicit and safe version ranges for dependencies.
  • Use Case: When releasing a new version of your core Rust library and its associated language bindings (Python, Node.js, etc.), this Skill ensures all components are updated to the same version number with a single command.

Quick Start

Use the Workspace Dependency Management skill to sync all crate versions to '0.6.0' and commit the changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I synchronize Rust crate versions across a workspace?

Synchronizing Rust crate versions across a workspace utilizes version sync scripts and `workspace.package` inheritance to update all components to a single version number with one command.

How do I enforce MSRV policies for multiple Rust crates?

Enforcing MSRV policies for multiple Rust crates involves utilizing workspace dependency management tools to define and test the Minimum Supported Rust Version across the entire project.

What is the best way to manage dependencies in a polyglot Rust project?

Managing dependencies in a polyglot Rust project is streamlined by synchronizing versions between core libraries and language bindings using centralized workspace package inheritance.

How do I set explicit version ranges for Rust workspace dependencies?

Setting explicit version ranges for Rust workspace dependencies is guided by dependency constraint best practices to ensure safe and consistent version ranges are applied across crates.

Can I use Cargo workspace inheritance to update multiple crate versions at once?

Cargo workspace inheritance allows updating multiple crate versions at once by propagating a single version definition across all member crates in the workspace.
