About

Search crates in a panamax mirror like cargo search

Prerequisite: Create a panamax mirror at ~/panamax.

• panamax-search -P parses the panamax mirror at ~/panamax, or the path given by the -m option, and creates/updates a cache file at ~/panamax/search.json.

  This step enables subsequent searches to load the cache file instead of reparsing the mirror.

• Search for crates with blah in their name or description: panamax-search blah

  Consider using -s and/or -y options with search commands to enable case sensitive searching or including yanked versions, respectively.

Notes

1. Highly recommend running panamax-search -U immmediately following panamax sync so that the cache file is always up-to-date and ready to process any queries as fast as possible. If running panamax sync via cron, recommend creating a script like the following and running that instead.

   #!/usr/bin/env bash
   set -xeo pipefail
   ~/.cargo/bin/panamax sync ~/panamax
   ~/.cargo/bin/panamax-search -Uv
