This new package provides Cargo, the Rust official package manager.
Cargo is written in Rust and uses Cargo as its build system. It also
depends on other Rust packages.
Normally, a previously installed version of Cargo would be used to:
1. Fetch the dependencies.
2. Build the new version of Cargo, using the available Rust compiler.
But the fetching step prevents offline builds. So instead two features
of Cargo are leveraged: vendoring [1] and local registry.
First, a tarball of the build dependencies generated using `cargo
vendor` is fetched along with Cargo source code.
Then, the build process is as follows:
1. The tarball of the build dependencies is uncompressed in a local
registry.
2. A snapshot of Cargo, provided by cargo-bin, builds the final
version of Cargo.
3. A configuration file telling Cargo how to cross-compile programs for
the target is generated and installed.
Currently, only the host variant is provided.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
