I still have a copy of the code on my machine but unfortunately it no longer builds due to the constant churn of rust packages. One thing I remember explicitly about it was that building end packages was faster than the current method, and that was before taking into account reusing build artifacts. https://notabug.org/maximed/cargoless-rust-experiments Another idea which I'm not in love with is what Debian does. They grab all of the sources into one build environment and then build everything. It simplifies the dependency management of the sources but for us it would make it so that we can't touch anything in rust without causing a full rebuild of everything. -- Efraim Flashner אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
