 ## `cargo` and `rustc` availability
 
-In order for an R package to be built from source, `cargo` and `rustc` need to be available to the machine compiling the package. The expectation for R packages using external dependencies is to have a `configure` and `configure.win` file to check if the dependencies are available before attempting to compile the package. If the checks fail, the build process will be stopped early.

 ## `cargo build` settings 
 
-CRAN also places restrictions on the way that cargo builds. CRAN has requested that no more than two logical CPUs be used in the build process. By default, cargo uses multiple threads to speed up the compilation process. CRAN policy allows for a maximum of two. This is set using the `-j 2` option in cargo build.

By default, `cargo` uses multiple threads to speed up the compilation process. CRAN policy allows for a maximum of two. This is set using the `-j 2` option, which is passed to `cargo build`. 
 
 Additionally, to minimize security risks and ensure package stability, CRAN requires that packages be built completely offline. This prevents external dependencies from being downloaded at compile time. Because of this requirement, vendored dependencies must be used.
 
 ## Vendored dependencies 
 
-Vendoring dependencies is the act of including the dependency itself into a packages source code. In the case of Rust, dependencies are fetched only at compile time. To enable compilation in an offline environment, dependencies must be vendored which is accomplished using the `cargo vendor` command.

 `cargo vendor` creates a local directory with the default name `vendor`, which contains the source code for each of the recursive dependencies of the crate that is being built. For CRAN compatibility, the `vendor` directory must be compressed using tar xz compression and included in the source of the package.
