Organizational: @andir is now an additional official maintainer of crate2nix. Welcome!

Breaking change:

  • If you are building crates with git dependencies, you will now need to update to a recent version of nixpkgs-unstable. On the upside, crates in sub directories of git repositories will now work!

New features:

  • Issue #53: Search for matching Cargo.toml for git dependencies.
  • Running tests is now documented in the README.
  • Add testInputs to test execution. This allows users to add buildInputs to the test execution. This might be required as during test execution external programs will be called on generated output or in cases where the rust application is just a wrapper around some other tool (in some way or another).
  • Issue #47 Shorter package IDs: Use the crate name or the crate name together with the version as package ID if that is unique. That shortens the generated files, makes them more readable and also strips local paths from the package IDs in most cases. The last point means that you do not have an unncessary diff in you generated Cargo.nix because someone else was regenerating it.

Under the hood:

  • Trimmed down the dependency tree of crate2nix itself by disabling some features.
  • At least some smoke tests for debug functionality.

If you are interested in hacking on crate2nix and buildRustCrate: There are now some convenience flags for the ./run_tests.sh script for offline mode and running the tests against your own modified version of nixpkgs. Check out the README section "Hacking on buildRustCrate in nixpkgs".
