 **Using a local dependency cache**
 
-**NOTE**: local dependency caches which were not *originally* created via
-  `--enable-cargo-online-mode` are broken. See https://bugs.torproject.org/22907

-    RUST_DEPENDENCIES='path_to_dependencies_directory' ./configure --enable-rust
+We vendor our Rust dependencies in a separate repo using
