generate-lockfiles without updating registry · Issue #3479 · rust-lang/cargo (original) (raw)

Cargobomb has a step where it calls generate-lockfiles 9000 times. Each one of these hits the network to update the registry, which causes a whole lot of latency. I'd like to be able to tell the generate-lockfiles command not to update the registry. Accordingly, I also would need some way to update the registry immediately before generate-lockfiles.
