Cargo install
Takes nearly 2 hours. Is there any way to speed it up?
Discussion
Also, I was almost done with the first Install and then it asked me for libssl-dev and I had to go install that and then reinstall ngit.
Have you used the nix package manager before?you can install and use it on any OS. A lot of projects are now using it to ensure there a consistent development environment and repoducable build.
Ngit and gitworkshop both use nix.
Is this the one you were talking about nostr:npub1hstt359n26ru3w0f9lcp03p6v89hamav9gq7vgq0ydyph5utjyysmcmk07 ?
Partly. Nix package manager and NixOS are not the same thing, though these are interconnected. (:
I'm not used to using cargo (obviously). Is it normal that it compiled 343 libraries?
In have heard rust sold as an antedote to the endless package dependency problem.
In think whilst some tools and libraries really do try and limit dependancies, a lot don't.
I use a few libraries that clearly have a lot of dependnacies.
There are a couple of upcoming changes which will result in less direct dependancies but some of them are also dependancies I use.
It depends on the project you are building. Some use crates that use other crates ad infinitum like every other modern project. Once they are built, however, it shouldn't have to build them again unless you change library or compiler versions.
as part of tidying up some open issues I'm going to close this for now.
Can you maybe link to the build page before closing, so that someone who sees it later knows there's an alternative?
which build page?
This one. 😅 Done.
