Is there something I'm missing?
When you say they pull in the source crates do you mean the sources of the other rust packages needed by rust-rand? I didn't test that, but I assumed it wouldn't. Currently if you were to pull in rust-rand-0.8 and rust-rand-0.7 then you'd have both rand-0.*.crate files in the registry but only one of them would be listed in share/cargo/registry/index/ra/nd/rand. I need to adjust the generation of that file to combine multiple sources if they exist, and sort them (I'm not sure it's necessary, but wouldn't be surprised if we hit undefined behaviour if they were listed multiple times or out of order). I also need to figure out something with a config.toml to see if it's possible to generate one that could be included from another one, since you can't add 'local-registry = $GUIX_PROFILE/...' in a toml file. > Cheers, > Jason > > $ guix shell --pure bash findutils rust-rand -- bash -c 'find -L > $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/share/cargo' > /gnu/store/zf88v65rbg2di4qhgdbvhfcjf31rdzby-profile/share/cargo > /gnu/store/zf88v65rbg2di4qhgdbvhfcjf31rdzby-profile/share/cargo/registry > /gnu/store/zf88v65rbg2di4qhgdbvhfcjf31rdzby-profile/share/cargo/registry/index > /gnu/store/zf88v65rbg2di4qhgdbvhfcjf31rdzby-profile/share/cargo/registry/index/ra > /gnu/store/zf88v65rbg2di4qhgdbvhfcjf31rdzby-profile/share/cargo/registry/index/ra/nd > /gnu/store/zf88v65rbg2di4qhgdbvhfcjf31rdzby-profile/share/cargo/registry/index/ra/nd/rand > /gnu/store/zf88v65rbg2di4qhgdbvhfcjf31rdzby-profile/share/cargo/registry/rand-0.8.5.crate > /gnu/store/zf88v65rbg2di4qhgdbvhfcjf31rdzby-profile/share/cargo/registry/config.json > > On Thu, Dec 14, 2023 at 10:10 AM Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> > wrote: > > > On Wed, Dec 13, 2023 at 10:34:11AM +0200, Efraim Flashner wrote: > > > * Compiled rust packages currently have a 'package' phase, which runs > > > the command used to crate a 'crate tarball', and is installed in > > > %output/share/cargo/registry, with unpacked sources in > > > %output/share/cargo/src.
