Update the upstream Lance Rust dependency to a specific release or tag. Use when bumping Lance Rust dependencies in the lance-duckdb repository, including Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, validation, branch creation, commit, push, and PR creation when requested.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# lance-duckdb Update Lance Dependency
## Scope
Use this skill in the `lance-format/lance-duckdb` repository when updating Lance Rust dependencies to a specific Lance version or tag.
This updates an upstream dependency. lance-duckdb has no independent release
version; do not bump its internal Cargo package version or create release tags.
Inputs can be a version (`7.2.0-beta.1`), a tag (`v7.2.0-beta.1`), a tag ref (`refs/tags/v7.2.0-beta.1`), or `latest`.
## Workflow
1. Confirm the worktree status with `git status --short`.
2. Resolve the target Lance version:
- If the input is `latest`, empty, or omitted, run:
```bash
python3 ci/check_lance_release.py
```
Parse the JSON output. If `needs_update` is not `true`, stop without creating a PR. Otherwise use `latest_tag`.
- If the input is explicit, use it directly.
3. Compute update metadata without changing files:
```bash
python3 ci/update_lance_dependency.py "$TAG_OR_VERSION" --metadata-only
```
Before making changes, check for an existing open PR with the emitted `pr_title`:
```bash
gh pr list --search "\"$PR_TITLE\" in:title" --state open --limit 1 --json number,url,title
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add lance-format/lance-duckdb/lance-duckdb-update-lance-dependency@sha256:242a12ee45c63accThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.a7dd618, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
