Hello,
I'm trying to package [helix](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix), a
text editor written in rust. I'm unsure how to write the actual package
though. The layout is seemingly straight forward - I found a random rust
package already in guixpkgs and just copied the config - but when it
comes to `cargo-inputs` and `cargo-development-inputs`, I'm not sure
what to do. Do I have to define every single variable in `cargo.lock`?
For bigger projects this seems like an incredible amount of work. Why
does the guix system require packages to be pulled from guix repos when
nix just reads the `cargo.lock` and pulls it from crates.io or
something? Is that not also deterministic, since that's the entire point
of the `cargo.lock` file? In the flake that helix provides :
https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/flake.nix , the
individual dependencies are not defined. Am I missing something, or is
this just how its done?
Thanks,
Abdullah Imad
