Plugins like cargo audit provide helpful functionality to the project.

We cannot add them toCargo.toml’s [dev-dependencies], because that requires their dependencie’s versions to align with the versions of our other dependencies. They need to be installed with cargo install and then provided to the project somehow.

Ideally, we could integrate them into our shell.nix environment, by ways of carnix for example.

Does upstream consider this a deficiency in the cargo spec?

I don’t know.

They might just assume users will set it up globally with cargo install somehow.

There is a new rust->nix tool on the block: https://github.com/kolloch/crate2nix It might be nicer to use than carnix.

@Profpatsch I'd really love feedback on what you consider necessary for a 1.0 release (https://github.com/kolloch/crate2nix/issues/8) and what your needs are. Let me know!
