cargo audit is very useful. This create allows running audits on production binaries as well.

Works exactly as expected, declaring a static with the data generated by the corresponding build script.

Lib.rs has been able to verify that all files in the crate's tarball are in the crate's repository. Please note that this check is still in beta, and absence of this confirmation does not mean that the files don't match.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories, so there is a possibility that published crates have a misleading repository URL, or contain different code from the code in the repository.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open auditable. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of auditable v0.2.0 or view the source online.
