Please publish Cargo.lock with the crate

[polyzen]

error: the lock file needs to be updated but --locked was passed to prevent this

[polyzen]

I see the lock file isn't shipped with the crate.

Looks like this would be needed:
rust-lang/cargo#5654

Thanks for reporting.
So did you build from the source code downloaded by cargo install?
I'm not sure it is a common practice, but I agree it is better if the downloaded crate contains a lock file.

It seems that the error only occurs in textris-0.1.0. The latest version is 0.2.0 and it can be built with cargo build --locked without the error in my environment, even if the lock file does not exist.
I confirmed this by doing:

• cargo install textris
• cd to the source directory .cargo/registry/src/github.com-hash/textris-0.2.0
• cargo build --locked

I download crates manually, actually:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=textris#n12

I believe the cargo install generated Cargo.lock for you. Perhaps it wouldn't have worked with cargo install --locked textris.

I've learned unstable Cargo features require Cargo nightly. Will bump this once it's stabilized.

Yeah, that makes me hesitate to use the publish-lockfile feature.
Thanks any way.

Cargo will be changed to always include Cargo.lock in the .crate file if the package has binaries or examples.
