Request to have gfxstream and AEMU v0.1.2 release tags made. For rutabaga_gfx_ffi, is the crates.io upload sufficient? https://crates.io/crates/rutabaga_gfx_ffi Debian, for example, treats crates.io as the source of truth and builds tooling around that. I wonder if Nixpkgs as similar tooling around crates.io.
