While in the process of implementing ssh-key-dir the owner of the pagure repo replied saying that rust and packit are not currently compatible. After asking why he indicated that Rust packaging currently mandates manual regeneration of the spec file for Rust crates with each new version to prevent broken packages and outdated templates. He went on to say that future versions of Rust packaging macros may alleviate this requirement through dynamic spec generation, contingent upon all supported target environments upgrading to RPM version[ 4.19 |https://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.19.0#spec]or higher post-RHEL 9 EOL.
Before continuing implementation of packit on rust repos we should
1. Ask packit team for feedback to this
2. See if we can work with the packit team to implement this?
3. See if we can manually do this via existing packit functions.
