@Tygo-van-den-Hurk I created a pull request at #362859, maybe you could have a look at it?

[Tygo-van-den-Hurk]

First of all, thank you for making this!

I wouldn't mind, however I'm not intimately familiar with packaging. I'd like to get better at this so if you could give me some pointers of what you usually look at to check that'd be nice and then I'll take another look. Without some hand holding I won't be of much use I'm afraid.

No problem! For starters you could verify that the package name, version, source (github repo crates.io package), and metadata (description, homepage, license, ...) all match what you would expect. Then you could check that the package actually builds and works as intended, e.g. using nix shell github:nixos/nixpkgs/pull/362859/merge#cargo-aoc and then cargo aoc ...

[Tygo-van-den-Hurk]

Ah okay, got it!

• All the metadata checks out, though I am personally confused with the license not being on the GH page.
• Checked if it builds and it does, also appears to function as normal!

PS. Thank you for teaching me how to test packages I had no idea what to do otherwise :)

Great! About the license, for some reason they have put it into the cargo-aoc directory instead of the project root, so GitHub doesn't detect it automatically
