I'm working on packaging sequoia-openpgp.org. This requires nettle-sys, a FFI to nettle. nettly-sys "optionally" requires "nettle-src". I added a phase to "nettle-sys" to remove the "optional" dependency. nettle-sys also requires bindgen. A second dependancy is "sequoia-openpgp", which requires rhe lalrpop parser generator for building. Now when building `sequioa-sqv`, I need to add all these dependencies again: - nettle-src, since it is "optional" for nettle-sys - and the phase was not executed. - bindgen, since it is required to build nettle-sys - lalrpop, since it is required for building sequoia-openpgp > Patching a library Cargo.toml seems like an excellent job for source patches > or snippets. Quite some packages change Cargo.toml in a phase, e.g. rust-openssl-0.7. Thus I assumed, this is the way to go. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
