crates.io VS panamax

So, be sure to double-check your critical libraries and be sure their alternatives exist in the Rust ecosystem. There’s a good chance the crates you need are available in Rust's crates.io repository.

The previous section was very simple, this section is also very simple but introduces us to cargo which is Rust's package manager, as a JS dev my mind goes straight to NPM.

Now, there has to be a place where all these packages come from. Similar to npmjs registry, where all node packages are registered, stored and retrieved, Rust also has something called crates.io where many helpful packages and dependencies are registered.

Before proceeding, let's check https://crates.io/, the official Rust package registry.

The most thrilling aspect has been the joy of writing the backend. It's like every struct, enum, and method in Rust forms this interconnected Multiverse of code , which you can see in crates.io which is best Documentation experience I Ever Had.

5. Crates.io

When using crates from eg. crates.io, and also things like std and core

Vendoring your packages was very tedious to even remotely get to work with Cargo. I spent a very long time getting Cargo to work together with cargo-local-registry. We vendor crates from crates.io and a custom internal registry.

So this is my question: Which way was the right to find it out? There is no info about this feature on crates.io. I also have no clue what exactly it does and why it is named rwh_05.

Rust does it so much better with https://crates.io . I don't know why Go can't (or won't) do something similar.

We had previously tried panamax but it broke constantly. Well, recently we tried again and it worked beautifully this time and we used it to create an offline mirror. It was pretty straightforward to set up, has plenty of customization options, and is quick to update. It includes the Rust toolchain itself as well as the entire ecosystem of https://crates.io/. It's amazing, and it feels like we're online almost! The entire mirror is only about 150GB. Not bad!

I am trying to get a derivation for panamax, a mirror for crates.io, the package registry for Rust libraries.

It looks like panamax is also a program that can be used to mirror a local crates-io registry to ones device. And using .cargo/config one can point to it. https://github.com/panamax-rs/panamax

I’m looking for an equivalent of panamax for rust, for golang. Do you know if a tool like this exists ? The aim is to have a maximum of packages available (ideally all) in an offline environment.

We're no complete strangers to that ;-) (my handle on github is dureuill)

Finally got Panamax's (rust mirror) "serve" command to a point where I've finally made a PR for it!

Work on Panamax (a Rust mirror for rustup and crates.io). It's nearly complete, and as part of building a command to serve a downloaded mirror, I've implemented a warp proof of concept that serves a git repo: https://github.com/panamax-rs/warp-git
