Cargo package

Added in version 1.3.

Zmienione w wersji 1.4: Added support for dependency patching.

A Cargo package provides support for processing a Cargo supported module.

LIBFOO_TYPE = 'cargo'

During the configuration stage of a Cargo package, cargo will be invoked to generate build files for the module. After fetching and extracting a package, cargo vendor will be invoked to download any defined dependencies defined in Cargo.toml. After all dependencies are acquired, a build stage will be triggered using cargo build, followed by an installation stage using cargo install. Each stage can be configured to manipulate environment variables and options used by the Cargo executable.

Cargo packages are handled a bit differently compared to other package types. In order to support having Cargo application packages work with library dependencies managed in a releng-tool project, all Cargo packages in play will need to be extracted ahead of time before any individual Cargo package can be built.

For any Cargo package that defines a dependency to another Cargo package that is defined inside a releng-tool project, dependencies will be automatically patched to use the local package definition.

The following sections outline configuration options are available for a Cargo package.

LIBFOO_BUILD_DEFS

Provides a means to pass definitions into the build process. This option can is defined as a dictionary of string pairs. This field is optional.

LIBFOO_BUILD_DEFS = {
    # adds "-Doption=value" to the command
    'option': 'value',
}

LIBFOO_BUILD_ENV

Provides a means to pass environment variables into the build process. This option is defined as a dictionary with key-value pairs where the key is the environment name and the value is the environment variable’s value. This field is optional.

LIBFOO_BUILD_ENV = {
    'OPTION': 'VALUE',
}

LIBFOO_BUILD_OPTS

Provides a means to pass command line options into the build process. This option can be defined as a dictionary of string pairs or a list with strings – either way defined will generate argument values to include in the build event. This field is optional.

LIBFOO_BUILD_OPTS = {
    # adds "--option value" to the command
    '--option': 'value',
}

# (or)

LIBFOO_BUILD_OPTS = [
    # adds "--some-option" to the command
    '--some-option',
]

LIBFOO_CARGO_NAME

Added in version 1.4.

Provides an explicit name to use for a Cargo package. By default, the used Cargo name is assumed to be the same as the package name used in releng-tool. If the names do not match, it is recommended to explicitly set the package name as it will be used to patch package dependencies together.

LIBFOO_CARGO_NAME = 'example-name'

LIBFOO_CARGO_NOINSTALL

Added in version 1.4.

Specifies whether the Cargo package should skip an attempt to invoke the install command. This option can be helpful when defining a Cargo package that is used as a library (instead of a full application). By default, the installation stage is invoked with a value of False.

LIBFOO_CARGO_NOINSTALL = True

LIBFOO_ENV

Added in version 0.17.

Provides a means to pass environment variables into all stages for a package. This option is defined as a dictionary with key-value pairs where the key is the environment name and the value is the environment variable’s value. This field is optional.

LIBFOO_ENV = {
    'OPTION': 'VALUE',
}

LIBFOO_INSTALL_DEFS

Provides a means to pass definitions into the installation process. This option can is defined as a dictionary of string pairs. This field is optional.

LIBFOO_INSTALL_DEFS = {
    # adds "--option=value" to the command
    '--option': 'value',
}

LIBFOO_INSTALL_ENV

Provides a means to pass environment variables into the installation process. This option is defined as a dictionary with key-value pairs where the key is the environment name and the value is the environment variable’s value. This field is optional.

LIBFOO_INSTALL_ENV = {
    'OPTION': 'VALUE',
}

LIBFOO_INSTALL_OPTS

Provides a means to pass command line options into the installation process. This option can be defined as a dictionary of string pairs or a list with strings – either way defined will generate argument values to include in the installation event. This field is optional.

LIBFOO_INSTALL_OPTS = {
    # adds "--option value" to the command
    '--option': 'value',
}

# (or)

LIBFOO_INSTALL_OPTS = [
    # adds "--some-option" to the command
    '--some-option',
]
