How do I tell craneLib.buildDepsOnly that I am building only select Workspace Members?

More Questions regarding my attempts at packaging samply.

Is it possible to build the dependencies only for a select crate?

the motivating example:
samply itself does not require openssl, but the tools/benchmarks binary in the workspace does. For the purpose of packaging only samply, and not the benchmarks utility, openssl would not be necessary. Is there a way to only build the dependencies for a subset of the workspace members so that the openssl dependency is not required?

Yes, you just have to make sure to pass -p to the build command in the craneLib.buildDepsOnly. Example from our codebase of a function that takes care of compiling only one package from the whole workspace
