That is a really solid job bro! Packaging rust stuff, I've heard is really hard. So congrats! Also I would perhaps wait a few more days to see if any other experienced developer gives you some tips on where to store your dependencies. Then I would submit a patch to guix-patc...@gnu.org. That way we can put your contribution in our bug tracker, and we won't lose it. The guix manual has a section for how to contribute a patch: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html Thanks, Joshua
