Passing non-boolean options to dependencies

[Binero]

Is it possible to pass options to the build script of one of the dependencies? I require this for some sophisticated code generation.

[alexcrichton]

There are indeed! All enabled features of a crate are passed through into the build script. This means various options are enabled via enabling features.

@alexcrichton This is not really what I'm looking for. This only allows me to set on/off flags, which represent packages. I want to be able to set other options, like integers, version numbers, etc.

[alexcrichton]

Ah yes, this is not currently supported (you'd have to add a feature-per-value basically).

As there hasn't been any activity here in a while would someone (the author, a team member, or any interested party) be able to summarise the current state, perhaps making explicit:

• Is this still relevant?
• If so, what is blocking it?
• Is it known what could be done to help move this forward?

Thank you!

As I didn't see any updates in 30 days I'm going to close this. Please see the previous comment for more information!
