## Building a rust package
When building a rust package in bitbake, it's usually easiest to build with
cargo using cargo.bbclass. If the package already has a Cargo.toml file (most
rust packages do), then it's especially easy. Otherwise you should probably
get the code building in cargo first.
Once your package builds in cargo, you can use
[cargo-bitbake](https://github.com/cardoe/cargo-bitbake) to generate a bitbake
recipe for it. This allows bitbake to fetch all the necessary dependent
crates, as well as a pegged version of the crates.io index, to ensure maximum
reproducibility.
