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.
