Hello Debian Rustaceans, I'm giving a presentation for the Kangrejos conference this week about the status of Rust for Linux in Debian, and I need to provide some background about Debian's specific needs and practices. For the kernel and Debian in general I have this scovered, but I am still a Rust newbie. So I have a few questions about the Rust team's practices: - How do you choose which Rust toolchain version should go into a stable releaze? Is it simply the upstream version you are able to package before the toolchain freeze? - I see that newer versions of rustc are backported as "rustc-web" and used to build browsers and a few other packages in (old)stable. Is there a policy for when to update this, beyond satisfying those applicationss' minimum versions? - How do you select which crates to package? Is it simply "package useful applications and their dependencies" or would you also package popular library creates without expecting a specific rdep in Debian? Thanks in advance, Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.
