`buildRustPackage` requires a `cargoSha256` attribute which is computed over
all crate sources of this package. Currently it is obtained by inserting a
fake checksum into the expression and building the package once. The correct
checksum can then be taken from the failed build.
`buildRustPackage` requires either the `cargoSha256` or the
`cargoHash` attribute which is computed over all crate sources of this
package. `cargoHash256` is used for traditional Nix SHA-256 hashes,
such as the one in the example above. `cargoHash` should instead be
used for [SRI](https://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/) hashes. For example:
```
cargoHash = "sha256-l1vL2ZdtDRxSGvP0X/l3nMw8+6WF67KPutJEzUROjg8=";
```
Both types of hashes are permitted when contributing to nixpkgs. The
Cargo hash is obtained by inserting a fake checksum into the
expression and building the package once. The correct checksum can
then be taken from the failed build. A fake hash can be used for
`cargoSha256` as follows:
```
cargoSha256 = stdenv.lib.fakeSha256;
```
For `cargoHash` you can use:
```
cargoHash = stdenv.lib.fakeHash;
```
Per the instructions in the [Cargo Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/cargo-toml-vs-cargo-lock.html)
best practices guide, Rust applications should always commit the `Cargo.lock`
