   3 This tool generates the manifests uploaded to static.rust-lang.org and used by
   4 rustup. The tool is invoked by the bootstrap tool.

   6 ## Testing changes locally
   7
   8 In order to test the changes locally you need to have a valid dist directory
   9 available locally. If you don't want to build all the compiler, you can easily
  10 create one from the nightly artifacts with:
  11
  12 ```
  13 #!/bin/bash
  14 for cmpn in rust rustc rust-std rust-docs cargo; do
  15     wget https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/${cmpn}-nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
  16 done
  17 ```
  18
  19 Then, you can generate the manifest and all the packages from `path/to/dist` to
  20 `path/to/output` with:
  21
  22 ```
  23 $ cargo +nightly run path/to/dist path/to/output 1970-01-01 http://example.com \
  24     CHANNEL VERSION
  25 ```
  26
  27 Remember to replace `CHANNEL` with the channel you produced dist artifacts of
  28 and `VERSION` with the current Rust version.
