I'm using guix b61e057 in the Guix System.

After installing rust-clippy (version 0.0.302), the "clippy" command is not found.


## Steps to reproduce

1. Open a terminal.
2. $ cd some-rust-project
3. $ cargo clippy


## Expected result

Clippy lints the project.


## Unexpected result

error: no such subcommand: `clippy`


## Additional information

Running the "rust-run-clippy" in Emacs results in the same error.

In the #guix channel, mroh checked the "rust-clippy" package and mentioned that it doesn't seem to have any output, which looks like a bug.

No, it's intentional:

   (arguments
    `(#:skip-build? #t

This means that Clippy was packaged to satisfy a dependency of 
another package, but not (yet) to be useful on its own.

When I try to build it, I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
error: failed to run custom build command for `clippy v0.0.302
Caused by:

 (exit code: 1)
--- stderr
error: Clippy is no longer available via crates.io

help: please run `rustup component add clippy-preview` instead

It seems[0] to track Rust releases now.

Kind regards,
