 K900 | Nixos tooling that is Rust mostly lives inside nixpkgs | 09:03:53 |
| K900 | Nix itself doesn't use Rust | 09:03:58 |
| K900 | Lix, a Nix fork, uses Rust somewhat, and plans for more Rust in the future | 09:04:10 |

 Gaétan Lepage | I have set cargoCheckType = "debug" and the env variable still shows "release". Are we supposed to set it as an env variable?
I saw some derivations that set cargoCheckType in their attrs... | 18:07:18 |
 rosssmyth | Should work unless you are using buildRustPackage then you need to set checkType and not cargoCheckType | 18:15:44 |

| neobrain | When writing a flake.nix for a Rust project I'm authoring (i.e. it'll bundle the flake), are there reasons to use anything other than nixpkgs's buildRustPackage? | 22:20:37 |
 dish [Fox/It/She] | if you need a nightly or beta version then you'd be better off with an external project | 22:26:55 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | i dont have a preference personally since I dont use them | 22:27:03 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | but that's the main reason to use them | 22:27:09 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | since they have binary caches so you dont have to build rustc from source(which would happen if you overrode nixpkgs' rustc version) | 22:27:29 |
