Wasn't the old bootstrap basically just pointing to specific commits to rust rather than tagged prior releases? I remember the servo repo doing something like that and maybe the Rust one as well (cloned it but have yet to build rust on my system from source!)
- steveklabnik 10y agoYes, they were specific SHAs, rather than releases.
- wldcordeiro 10y agoThought so! Know if servo is joining you guys on the build from a release train?
- steveklabnik 10y agoWell, Servo is a bit different, given that it's not a rust compiler, so there's no 'bootstrapping' component. Until Servo stops using nightly features (which may not be ever, given that they are part of how we test new features!), they'll need to stick with a nightly build. We made an exception for the compiler when compiling itself, but won't make any more.
