chore: Cargo.lock file of stable2412 release contains older crate versions than stable2409

[Daanvdplas]

I am upgrading a chain to stable2412 and have encountered some problems. The Cargo.lock file in the release contains older crate versions than the previous release (e.g. frame-support is on v28.0.0, while on previous release it was on v38.0.0 (as a result psvm doesn't work)).

Is it expected of all downstream projects to transition to the polkadot-sdk crate? Is there any documentation / guide?

I'm a bit confused and would appreciate some help, thanks in advance :)

Assigning @EgorPopelyaev to look into if the Cargo.lock works, and indeed psvm should also work per every new release. Ideally it's working should be part of a checklist.

It is up to you, but indeed you will not need to deal with dependency versions if you do this upgrade.

We have already moved some of the templates to the umbrella, more to be done.

For a user-friendly template, I'd highly recommend polakdot-sdk (and frame once it no longer needs experiemntal flag).

FYI: Cargo.lock in master also has the wrong versions

Regarding this, I see that some dependencies are left in after moving to the umbrella crates (while being in the umbrella crate):

• polkadot-sdk/templates/parachain/runtime/Cargo.toml

  Line 65 in ca78179

  cumulus-pallet-parachain-system = { workspace = true }

• polkadot-sdk/templates/parachain/runtime/Cargo.toml

  Line 100 in ca78179

  metadata-hash = ["substrate-wasm-builder/metadata-hash"]

Any reason for this?

What is the correct version of the polkadot-sdk crate for the stable2412 release? As per above issue, the Cargo.lock file has v0.1.0. This version however doesn't have the node version so I can't imagine this being true.

Using v0.7.0 is that correct?

The template sync jobs for templates are also failing, might be related: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/actions/workflows/misc-sync-templates.yml
