Tools
I am building this table to evaluate tools from the perspective that I would want to use Nix as a replacement for Make in a monorepo environment. "Monorepo" in this case is a shorthand for "many crates being developed in parallel with the clients that depend upon them."
| Dependency cache strategy | Cross-compilation | Acceptable for Nixpkgs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crane | One derivation for all dependencies | ||
| buildRustPackage | |||
| buildRustCrate | |||
| cargo2nix | no | ||
| crate2nix | no | ||
| naersk |
Nothing short of caching each dependency in a separate crate will make a tool acceptable for monorepo development.
A strategy
- Each crate needs to be treated as a separate
