Feature proposal: Fixup repositories #73
Description
Lifting #19 (comment) into its own thread:
Reindeer could be much lower friction if users weren't required to manually track down and/or implement fixups for the build scripts of widely used dependencies. In a typical medium-sized Rust project with hundreds of dependencies, even just storing the fixups can add a large amount of noise to a tree.
What if reindeer could be configured to look up fixups from external sources, much like how buck2 supports external cells? Being able to drop a reference to, say, https://github.com/gilescope/buck2-fixups/ in reindeer.toml and have half the ecosystem Just Work would be huge.
Would PRs towards this be welcome?
