Builds.rs Documentation
builds.rs is a service that builds artifacts for all crates published at crates.io, the Rust community's crate registry. builds.rs takes all crates published there and generates artifacts from them, such as executables for different platforms. This makes it easy to use Rust tooling without needing to compile it from source.
builds.rs is written, run and maintained by a team of volunteers who are passionate about the Rust language and the quality of tooling it has provided. We want to do our little part in making this tooling available to as many people as possible.
