Packaged Rust crates work *fine* for local development as long as you are willing to cut yourself off from crates.io. Unlike *every other language package manager*, Cargo does not support multiple concurrent indexes. This is ultimately the bottleneck, and there's been very little interest in resolving this upstream. Upstream issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/4883 Without this feature, it becomes difficult to do development using packaged crates. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
