Hello,
I could use some insight on a rust package that I have tried multiple times to package as a flake and failed --
https://github.com/BrettMayson/HEMTT

On a non-nix system, the build process is as simple as cargo build, but in a nix build env, there is a dependency, arma3-wiki, that pulls from a git repo in it's build.rs, which makes the build process fail.

Has anyone ran into a similar problem before? If so, is there a derivation I could reference?

@kelp:chat.kelp.ltkelpA download link for the dependency in question: http://crates.io/api/v1/crates/arma3-wiki/0.5.5/download11:29:14
@rosssmyth:matrix.orgrosssmythWell if it unconditionally pulls it via the network, you need to patch it so it doesn't. 18:23:44

@ralith:ralith.comRalithdownloading stuff from the internet in build.rs is spectacularly bad practice regardless of Nix02:03:40

Trying to wrap my brain around this. What is the path forward to actually using this hook if buildRustPackage shouldn't be modified? I figured that is mostly the point so that all Rust packages can be checked without manual migration of each package.

@luke:vuksta.comLukeAnyone have an example of using crane with flake-parts instead of flake-utils? I'm looking to migrate away from flake-utils00:27:25
