Cargo (Rust) registry support for Github Packages

[simonhyll]

Are there any plans on supporting Cargo and Rust in Github Packages? I've looked into the process myself and it seems pretty straighforward, shouldn't be any more difficult to implement than any other package managers.

Can @github-staff give an update on supporting rust ?

Would really like to see this added.

[pocesar]

what is the workaround for now? using git urls and git-fetch-with-cli?

[Masber]

Any idea when rust is going to be on the list of supported languages for GitHub packages????
why no one from GitHub has given any news on this????

I think that "Github packages" is no longer a priority in GitHub:
github/roadmap#94
github/roadmap#93
github/roadmap#123
github/roadmap#122

Not being a priority allows them to close the roadmap issue and act like it did not exist? 🤦🏼‍♂️

[samifouad]

can you confirm anything on this @ankneis?

Hello @samifouad, I work at GitHub and will check on things and get back to you before the end of the week. Thank you!

[samifouad]

Appreciate that! Thank you!

Hi @samifouad, In the near term, we will be focusing on GitHub Packages integration with GitHub Actions to provide a more seamless and powerful experience.
Keep your eye on the roadmap for forthcoming updates. In the meantime, we appreciate your support and feedback as we work to make GitHub Packages a key component of the larger GitHub platform. Cheers!

[samifouad]

appreciate the response! thank you!

[lebenitza]

Is "near term" almost a year later still near?

@octobrian There is no update on GitHub Roadmap, please clarify github is going to support this or not? If yes then please share something on roadmap, so enterprises can take decisions for package management accordingly.
Awaiting your response. Thanks

I think the unnofficial response would be somewhere along the lines of "milking the AI Hype train because improving something people already pay for is not making more money".

@aadltya Thanks a lot for info.
Jfyi i have already checked everything before asking here and also i have added github roadmap link, in which you can also crosscheck there is no mention of cargo rust things in package management in github.

You can check in official documentation also, it's not there.

Still nothing?

Microsoft: Let's embrace rust on basically every layer possible!

Also, microsoft: Let's not embrace rust on github at all!
