Hello,
The current package guide for cargo gives you only the git index, with
the HTTP Index stabilized being used as default for crates.io and being
better for most use-cases.
However, it's not documented that gitea supports the sparse spec, and it
does not require the _crates-index git repo for the sparse api.
I personally think we should push users to use the sparse instead of the
git repository. (Even let users disable crates-index repos if they only
want to use sparse)
Cargo registry-auth feature requires config.json to have a property
auth-required set to true in order to send token to all registry
requests.
This is ok for git index because you can manually edit the config.json
file to add the auth-required, but when using sparse
(setting index url to
"sparse+https://git.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/cargo/"), the
config.json is dynamically rendered, and does not reflect changes to the
config.json file in the repo.
I see two approaches:
- Serve the real config.json file when fetching the config.json on the
cargo service.
- Automatically detect if the registry requires authorization. (This is
what I implemented in this PR).
What the PR does:
- When a cargo index repository is created, on the config.json, set
auth-required to wether or not the repository is private.
- When the cargo/config.json endpoint is called, set auth-required to
wether or not the request was authorized using an API token.
