Mandatory README.source for rust packages ?

[Matthias Geiger]

Hi all,

debcargo. I attached my draft. Let me know if you have any
thoughts/comments/critique. If no-one objects I'll add it to every rust
gnome app so future updates can happen more streamlined.
In my experience updating it like that saves a lot of time for new
upstream releases.

best,

Updating debian/control
=======================

After the post-import of a new upstream release the build-dependencies should be updated.
To automate the process of parsing Cargo.toml you can use debcargo (>= 2.7.8) like this:
$ debcargo deb-dependencies Cargo.toml | xclip (or | wl-copy).
Note that Cargo.toml might be in a subdirectory, so adjust the absolute path accordingly.
Then update d/control from the debcargo-generated dependencies. Note that you might need to match
the dependencies with the current pacakged ones with a patch relaxing the crate version(s) as usual.
In that case, add / refresh the patch, apply it, and re-run above command. This ensures no dependency is
missed.

I'd like to adopt a mandatory README.source for rust packages. This details how d/control should be updated automatically with
