Is there any way to embed rclone within the rustic binary?

[nickchomey]

I'm wondering if there's any way to embed rclone within rustic so that only a single binary is needed?

I dont know anything about rust, but I see that there is librclone and a rust crate for it

I suppose that even if it is possible, perhaps it would be preferrable not to - so that rclone can update independently (and seemingly more frequently) from rustic

Hey there, corresponding issue is here: rustic-rs/rustic_core#14

We are currently integrating with openDAL in rustic-rs/rustic_core#73

So in general, I'm not sure if embedding rclone is the way to go, also because it's not supported on Windows and might create a patchwork rug within rustics codebase to keep it cross-platform.

Ah, very cool. Thanks for the information. I look forward to seeing how those turn out!
