Hi, I was looking into how the rust packaging works in nixpkgs recently and I've got some questions about why it was done in the way it is right now:
* First, why do we need the `rustRegistry` package? As we have network access during the fetch dependencies phase anyway, could we not access the registry directly? Since every application in rust is supposed to come with a lockfile, the result should still be reproducible * Second, have you thought about using cargo vendor ( https://github.com/alexcrichton/cargo-vendor) for the fetch dependencies phase? It seems like that could reduce the amount of custom code that we need to maintain. Regards, Benno Fünfstück
