Problem
related to rust-lang/rust#44663
Information about whether or not a dependency is public is not included in the output of cargo metadata.
This could be useful for custom subcommands. cargo override, would find this useful for eopb/cargo-override#121
Proposed Solution
When -Zpublic-dependency is enabled, include a boolean flag in cargo metadatas output at packages[].dependencies[].public.
If -Zpublic-dependency is not enabled, this flag should not appear in cargo metadata output.
Notes
If this feature request is accepted, I'm happy to claim and take a crack at working on it
