Vendored dependencies

We need to use multiple versions of the niri-ipc crate dependency to maintain compatibility with multiple version of niri. Ideally we would do this:

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
niri-ipc-25-2-0 = { package = "niri-ipc", version = "=25.2.0" }
niri-ipc-25-5-1 = { package = "niri-ipc", version = "=25.5.1" }

However for some braindamaged reasons cargo refuses to allow this if any of the multiple versions are semver compatible (see cargo issue)

So we do a disgusting workaround here where we vendor older versions of the niri-ipc crate and re-publish them on crates.io under the name multibg-wayland-niri-ipc with semver incompatible versions e.g. "25.2.0" => "0.250200.0"

Workflow

Example:

Download the crate:

curl --fail --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://static.crates.io/crates/niri-ipc/niri-ipc-25.2.0.crate | tar -xz

Remove crates.io artifacts:

rm -f .cargo_vcs_info.json Cargo.toml.orig

Edit Cargo.toml:

  • name = "niri-ipc" => name = "multibg-wayland-niri-ipc"
  • version = "25.2.0" => version = "0.250200.0"

Re-publish:

cargo publish
