Please don't hide Cargo.lock

[0323pin]

Hi,

On NetBSD, we have a script that reads Cargo.lock and generates a file listing all cargo dependencies.
When Cargo.lock is hidden in .gitignore, we need to do this manually.
Would you please consider removing Cargo.lock from .gitignore and simplify our work?

Thanks in advance.

This is a library, and Cargo.lock is used only for binaries. It is completely ignored and does nothing for library users. If you just want to see what would be there, you can run cargo generate-lockfile.

@kornelski Sorry, should have looked before :(

Yeah, I know how to generate the lockfile, I can do a test build. Closing this now.
