Re: Adding a .deb for Edit/msedit.
Hello,
Thanks for all the info. It sounded easiest if I just set up an msedit
crates.io package: https://crates.io/crates/msedit
The only modifications were to the Cargo.toml. Otherwise it is msedit
v1.2.1 as shipped with Windows 11 25H2. I will have to sort out
succession for that crate.
However, it appears Microsoft is using unstable Rust features that
Debian/testing (under systemd-nspawn) has blocked for now.
Specifically, I would have to backport an unstable system allocator
API into a package that was in a "stable" release channel. And that
fix might not be possible with just toml. (I'm pretty sure about all
this, but I am actually a C++ programmer... And so I have no idea why
a Rust text editor would be doing anything like this.)
Please advise? I don't mind waiting for the last of that crate's
feature dependencies to be declared stable and start patching then. Or
I can just hack on it until it runs.
