@@ -4,3 +4,11 @@ This is a Cargo subcommand which vendors all crates.io dependencies into a
local directory using Cargo's support for source replacement.
cargo-vendor is helpful for packaging applications which use cargo (rust).
+
+By default, the slackbuild requires all crate dependencies to be downloaded
+individually. Optionally, if you already have cargo-vendor installed, you can
+create a "vendored" tarball which contains all the crate dependencies exploded
+into a single directory and then compressed together as a tarball.
+
+The script cargo-vendor-mkvendortarball.sh will generate this for you. The slackbuild
+will automatically use this tarball if found in the current directory.
