Add information on updating dependencies #310

Open varkor opened 5 years ago

varkor commented 5 years ago

This would be useful to have as a subsection under "crates.io Dependencies". Updating a dependency is more frequent an occurrence than adding a new one, but one can still run into issues, e.g.:

error: cannot satisfy dependencies so `some_crate` only shows up once

This might include information on librustc_cratesio_shim.

Triage: this issue is slightly too general nowadays, because how to bump deps depends on whose deps we're bumping and who needs to sign-off:

Deps are also subject to tidy license checks to prevent new deps w/ incompatible licenses from being introduced into r-l/r. Note that dep bump processes for non r-l/r repos are subject to their own discretion.
