Hi! Since some of us will be attending FOSDEM again this year, I'd like to organize a BoF[0] for Rust teams/maintainers across distros and upstreams interested in making their packagers' lifes easier. Marc from Tweede Golf reached out last fall and wrote up a nice blog post regarding their experience writing software in Rust while keeping pain points of distros in mind[1]. We've had similar discussions in various avenues with other upstream projects as well. Ideally, the BoF would collect similar input from "both sides" with the aim of distilling it into an extension of documents like Debian's UpstreamGuide[2], but specific for Rust (crates). Other potential output would be identifying gaps in distro tooling, potential for more exchange across distros or coordinated efforts to implement relevant missing features in upstream tooling such as cargo. If you want to participate, be kept in the loop regarding exact date & room, want to be on the receiving end of any output generated by this meetup, or know of other possibly interested parties or interesting resources to incorporate, don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks! Fabian 0: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/#bofs 1: https://tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/104/dealing-with-dependencies-in-rust 2: https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide
