If compilation is slow, use a binary cache or packages from your distro.
Mixing binaries with source code means the whole package is not FOSS anymore.
It is illogical to ship binaries for only part of a crate. Shipping binaries for the whole crates is much simpler and gives a much larger speed-up.
But ship the binaries separately from the source code.
- mmastrac 3y ago> Mixing binaries with source code means the whole package is not FOSS anymore. This is completely untrue and a bad-faith argument. The source is right there for the binary. It's still FOSS.
- oever 3y agoThe whole package is not FOSS. Individual files might be. You are right that my assumption in this unusual arrangement is that the binary does not necessarily correspond to (the same version of) the source code.
