This removes parts of the previous explanation of the tool that are no longer correct, and adds an explanation of '--exclude' parameter, instead. Adds more clarity to the command, by use of '/path/to/source' to signify source directory. Specify that the pattern matching style of the exclude parameter is that of gitignore's syntax.
``rustup`` Toolchain
====================
We normally want to build with the ``rustc`` Debian package. To do that
you can set the following ``rustup`` configuration:
# rustup toolchain link system /usr
# rustup default system
Versioning of proxmox helper crates
===================================
To use current git master code of the proxmox* helper crates, add::
git = "ssh://gitolite3@proxdev.maurer-it.com/rust/proxmox"
or::
path = "../proxmox/proxmox"
to the proxmox dependency, and update the version to reflect the current,
pre-release version number (e.g., "0.1.1-dev.1" instead of "0.1.0").
Local cargo config
==================
This repository ships with a ``.cargo/config`` that replaces the crates.io
registry with packaged crates located in ``/usr/share/cargo/registry``.
A similar config is also applied building with dh_cargo. Cargo.lock needs to be
deleted when switching between packaged crates and crates.io, since the
checksums are not compatible.
To reference new dependencies (or updated versions) that are not yet packaged,
the dependency needs to point directly to a path or git source (e.g., see
example for proxmox crate above).
