What problem does it solve?

Update a Rust derivation in Nix to a new version and ensure the corresponding hashes are updated for reproducible builds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version bumping: update the version attribute in fetchFromGitHub and related fields.
  • Hash reconciliation: fetch new tarball hash, convert to SRI, and apply to the derivation.
  • Build verification: set cargoHash to a placeholder, run a build to reveal the correct cargoHash, then update it and re-build to verify success.

Quick Start

Use the update-rust-derivation skill to bump a Rust package version in a Nix derivation and refresh the hashes.
