Hi Everyone! This is PR for the manifest parsing of the first milestone of [GSoC Project : Build Script Delegation](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2025/projects/nUt4PdAA) ### What does this PR try to resolve? Currently, just a single build script is allowed for each package. This PR will allow users to create and use multiple build scripts, and is backward compatible with single script as well as boolean values. **Motivation :** This will help users to maintain separate smaller and cleaner build scripts instead of one large build script. This is also necessary for build script delegation. **Open questions:** - What should the build script target names be? - Currently they use the file stem of the build script which could run into conflicts **Known Issues:** - This is just parsing support, and currently, only the first build script of the array is actually executed. ### How to test and review this PR? There is a feature gate `multiple-build-scripts` that can be passed via `cargo-features` in `Cargo.toml`. So, you have to add ```toml cargo-features = ["multiple-build-scripts"] ``` Preferably on the top of the `Cargo.toml` and use nightly toolchain to use the feature **This PR is ready to be reviewed and merged**
Cargo
Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.
To start using Cargo, learn more at The Cargo Book.
To start developing Cargo itself, read the Cargo Contributor Guide.
The Cargo binary distributed through with Rust is maintained by the Cargo team for use by the wider ecosystem. For all other uses of this crate (as a binary or library) this is maintained by the Cargo team, primarily for use by Cargo and not intended for external use (except as a transitive dependency). This crate may make major changes to its APIs.

Compiling from Source
Requirements
Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:
cargoandrustc- A C compiler for your platform
git(to clone this repository)
Other requirements:
The following are optional based on your platform and needs.
-
pkg-config— This is used to help locate system packages, such aslibsslheaders/libraries. This may not be required in all cases, such as using vendored OpenSSL, or on Windows. -
OpenSSL — Only needed on Unix-like systems and only if the
vendored-opensslCargo feature is not used.This requires the development headers, which can be obtained from the
libssl-devpackage on Ubuntu oropenssl-develwith apk or yum or theopensslpackage from Homebrew on macOS.If using the
vendored-opensslCargo feature, then a static copy of OpenSSL will be built from source instead of using the system OpenSSL. This may require additional tools such asperlandmake.On macOS, common installation directories from Homebrew, MacPorts, or pkgsrc will be checked. Otherwise it will fall back to
pkg-config.On Windows, the system-provided Schannel will be used instead.
LibreSSL is also supported.
Optional system libraries:
The build will automatically use vendored versions of the following libraries. However, if they are provided by the system and can be found with pkg-config, then the system libraries will be used instead:
libcurl— Used for network transfers.libgit2— Used for fetching git dependencies.libssh2— Used for SSH access to git repositories.libz(AKA zlib) — Used by the above C libraries for data compression. (Rust code useszlib-rsinstead.)
It is recommended to use the vendored versions as they are the versions that are tested to work with Cargo.
Compiling
First, you'll want to check out this repository
git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo.git
cd cargo
With cargo already installed, you can simply run:
cargo build --release
Adding new subcommands to Cargo
Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify Cargo itself. See the Wiki page for more details and a list of known community-developed subcommands.
Releases
Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases. High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Detailed release notes are available in the changelog.
