cargo-deplint

A utility for enforcing rules about crate dependency graphs.

cargo deplint can be installed with cargo install. The resulting binary should then be in $HOME/.cargo/bin.

$ cargo install cargo-deplint

Use it by providing the path to a Cargo.lock file and a lints file:

$ cargo deplint Cargo.lock deplints.toml

Format of the lints file

The file defining the lints is a toml that looks as follows.

[[deny]]
name = "foo"
dependencies = [
    "bar",
]

The above disallows crate foo from depending on crate bar, including transitively.

Return all indirect dep paths in deny output.
Add features necessary to replace mz's lint-deps.sh (allowlist + ???).
Consider using cargo metadata instead of the Cargo.lock file so that we can distinguish between regular dependencies and dev-dependencies.
