Bug#845576: Please add a section for Rust packages
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
The Debian Rust packaging team has the infrastructure in place to start
uploading Rust library ("crate") packages to support the building of
application packages written in Rust. We only plan to upload the crate
packages needed to build application packages, but that'll still result
in hundreds of crate packages (with names like librust-cratename-dev).
As a result, we'd like to request the addition of a "rust" section,
rather than putting all those packages in libdevel.
Section description:
Development tools and library crates for the Rust programming language
Thanks,
Josh Triplett
