Using

We recommend using crates from crates.io, as demonstrated here.

If you want to track the bleeding edge, use the git dependency instead:

[dependencies]
cairo-rs = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk-rs-core.git", package = "cairo-rs" }

Avoid mixing versioned and git crates like this:

# This will not compile
[dependencies]
cairo-rs = "0.13"
cairo-rs = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk-rs-core.git", package = "cairo-rs" }
