How to package rust bindings properly?
Dear packagers, how does one package "rust bindings" properly? In my case I seem to require the magnum-opus "Safe Rust bindings for libopus" as a dependency for another package, so I gave it a try. It compiles, but due to missing rust knowledge I have no clue how to install/package the resulting files.

This is what is in the "release" directory created by the build:
Any ideas or RTFM? Kind Regards, Johannes
Hi, In general we don't package rust libraries as standalone packages, so I think your solution is to vendor it together with the other rust dependencies. Looks like it doesn't build correctly in the vendored version ( https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:ojkastl_buildservice:...). Often it helps to just regenerate the vendor tarball, or you might find some tricks how to fix it here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Rust_Software#Patching_vendored_c...

Yes, this has worked well using the cargo_vendor service on other packages.

I think I'll abandon the separate package idea and try to get the version in the original package to build. Let's see how it goes. Kind Regards, Johannes
