1 points · Open discussionIn the Rust ecosystem, you only publish lock files for binary crates. So yeah then you get churn like https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall/releases/tag/v1... bumping transitive deps, but this churn/noise doesn't exist for library crates - because the lock file isn't published for them.

It'll fetch the binary release from the repo so you don't have to compile it yourself.
In Release engineering is exhausting so here's cargo-distSpeaking of cargo remove, see also cargo-edit [0] from which adding and removing originally came, as well as cargo-binstall [1] which installs binaries rather than compiling from source every time. The binaries are updatable with cargo-update [2].
The latter two can replace a package manager for Rust related utilities, as I often find that those in OS package repositories are often not as up to date as directly from cargo.
