Worked on enhancing build configurability for the axodotdev/cargo-dist repository by implementing a workspace discovery feature that is gated behind a feature flag. This approach decoupled workspace discovery from the generic-projects dependency, allowing builds to proceed without requiring the generic-projects feature. By gating the rust::get_workspace function behind the cargo-projects feature flag, the work enabled more flexible build configurations and reduced unnecessary dependencies. The changes focused on improving the onboarding experience for users with diverse requirements. The engineering effort utilized Rust, build systems, and conditional compilation to deliver a targeted solution that addressed dependency management and build flexibility within the project.
