Something that might help with that would be to also include the source of the crate somewhere in the output. Then at the worst we could just put the rust inputs of librsvg as regular inputs and let librsvg do its own special build thing. We'd then still keep the build dependency tree you've got working. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
