The rust plugin
The rust plugin is useful for building Rust-based parts using the Cargo package manager to drive the build. This plugin uses the common plugin keywords as well as those for sources. For more information, see Snapcraft parts metadata.
Additional features and syntax are dependent on which base is being used, as outlined below:
See Rust applications for a simple example, or search GitHub for projects using the plugin.
This is a snapcraft plugin. See Snapcraft plugins and Supported plugins for further details on how plugins are used.

rust-revision(string) Used to select which rust version
If a rust-toolchain file is detected, the toolchain it specifies will be used by default. However, if rust-channel or rust-revision are set, the rust-toolchain file will be overridden.
If neither a rust-toolchain exists nor rust-channel or rust-revision are set, the latest stable toolchain will be used.
Requires Snapcraft version 3.x+.
