Work in progress on new GitHub Action for Rust

Mar 25, 2020

I started working on a new GitHub Action for Rust, which helps with the one of most irritating CI problems — tremendously slow cargo install command.

Each time when you are using cross for a cross-compilation, cargo-audit for security audits or maybe calling cargo-nono to be sure that your crate is no_std compatible, few minutes of the CI job are spent on installing the required binary crate.

It is slow, it is irritating and I think that this problem could be solved to some extent right now, despite the inability to use GitHub Actions Cache API.

Minimal working prototype is here already, check out how fast it can install sccache for you:
