1. When should I expect the Sparse Index Protocol to be included in JFrog Artifactory versions by default?
A. The Sparse Index Protocol is fully integrated into JFrog Artifactory starting from version 7.46.3 onwards and Rust Version 1.68.
2. Can I still use the Git-based approach with the new versions?
A. While older Artifactory versions (released before July 2024) used the traditional Git protocol, it's important to note that newer versions, which include the Sparse Index Protocol by default, no longer support the old Git approach.
As stated by Rust, “The Cargo team plans to eventually make this the default way to access crates.io” (or Artifactory in this case).
3. What changes do I need to make in my configuration to adopt the Sparse Index Protocol?
A. Select the Enable sparse index support checkbox in the General Settings section of the Cargo Repository Basic tab. You may Follow our Index Cargo Repositories Using Sparse Indexing documentation for further information.
