Mesa Tooling Manual #

Packages #

Dependencies #

A package declares its dependencies in package.toml, in the [dependencies] table. A dependency is a URL to a git repository whose root directory holds the dependency's own package.toml. The key is the dependency's package name, as that manifest declares it.

# tracker/package.toml
name = "tracker"

[dependencies]
ledger = "https://github.com/acme/ledger"
tags = "file:///home/acme/tags.git"

An import never names a repository. A dependency is imported by its root module name, which it declares in its own src/package.ms.

Lockfile #

The manifest fixes which packages a package depends on, while the lockfile fixes which revision of each. The lockfile is package.lock in the package's root directory beside package.toml.

tracker/
	package.toml
	package.lock
	src/

The specific format of the lockfile is managed by the mesa dep tool.
