When I’m using rustPlatform.buildRustPackage, what should i do if some dependencies are from github or other non-crates.io-hostnames?
I was trying to package popsicle , but the project has two dependencies pulled from github, and it creates an error that it cannot resolve hostname github.com .
naersk would be a possible solution, but it doesn’t fit in nixpkgs super well, maybe i can just keep it in my own repository
naersk doesn’t work yet eather

There seems to be a limit to fetching git dependencies
```

if a proxy or similar is necessary `net.git-fetch-with-cli` may help here

```
adding the `eccoxide` dependency in the top-level Cargo.toml and regenerating the Cargo.lock seems to fix the issue was the dependency will be properly captured.
