A third option: let tarball? recognise ".crate" suffixes.
A hacky fourth option (to avoid a full world-rebuild):
in cargo-build, do:
;; Untested, might not work due to inlining.
;; XXX: modify tarball? on the next world-rebuild
(define tarball?/fixed
(let ((tarball?/old tarball?))
(lambda (filename)
(or (tarball? filename)
(string-suffix? ".crate" filename)))))
(define* (cargo-build ...)
(set! tarball? tarball?/fixed)
(apply gnu:gnu-build ...))
The second option would be a bit complicated to do efficiently, because
the tar would be wrapped inside a gzip/xzip/..., unless it is
acceptable for tarball? to assume that every gzipped/... file is a
gzipped/... tarball.
