[Slackbuilds-users] Questions with packaging a rust program.

[Charadon]

Personally, I think I lean more towards fourtysix's method of packaging 
rust with the mkvendor.sh script. As long as the end result is 
reproducible and verified using a checksum, it's fine.

That doesn't mean your method is invalid or awful though! I'm gonna 
experiment with both methods and see which one I like more in the end 
once I have hands on experience with it =)

I have a script for adding cargo links to the info-file:

https://gitlab.com/Lockywolf/lwfslackbuilds/-/blob/master/02_lockywolf-sbo-scripts/lwf_make-cargolinks.bash?ref_type=heads

Can't say it slows down things that much.
Downloading is a bit slower, but overall it's okay.

I would prefer not having custom-made tarballs hosted on private servers
when possible.

Hey all,
I'm wanting to make a Slackbuild for BLAKE3. The issue is that it's made 
in rust.
Now rust has a thing that makes it pretty easy to vendor (`cargo 
vendor`) the
dependencies, the issue is that, unless upstream provides their own vendored
tarball, you'll be making your own.

So here are my questions:

1. Can I make a vendored tarball, upload it somewhere like archive.org 
and use that
as a source? I know this is questionable security wise, but you should 
be able to
replicate the archive using a `git clone` and `cargo vendor`
2. If not, can I include a script that downloads the source, runs cargo 
vendor, and
makes a vendored tarball?
2. If not, how would you go about packaging a rust program? Is there any 
guide
anywhere?
