using serde_derive without precompiled binary · Issue #2538 · serde-rs/serde

I'm working on packaging serde for Fedora Linux, and I noticed that recent versions of serde_derive ship a precompiled binary now. This is problematic for us, since we cannot, under no circumstance...

serde_derive now ships a precompiled binary. This made a lot of people angry. The crate maintainer finally locked the issue.

As far as I know, no one has yet been able to reproduce the binary with the source code, so I don’t think the contents of it are confirmed at all.
