rust-overlay
A pure and reproducible Nix overlay for binary distributed Rust toolchains with daily auto-updated hashes.
What is rust-overlay?
rust-overlay is a Nix overlay that provides pure and reproducible packaging of binary distributed Rust toolchains. It solves the problem of managing Rust toolchains within the Nix ecosystem by pre-fetching all component hashes and automating updates, ensuring builds are deterministic and network-independent.
Nix and NixOS users who need reliable Rust toolchain management, particularly developers working in reproducible build environments or those migrating from the nixpkgs-mozilla Rust overlay.
Developers choose rust-overlay for its pure evaluation (no network access needed), daily auto-updated hashes, compatibility with existing nixpkgs-mozilla interfaces, and additional features like cross-compilation support and rust-toolchain file integration.
