The current solution for rust or go applications seem to be just packaging the resultant binary even in the repositories. I don't know if they will ever ship rust libraries as packages.
- burntsushi 9y agoI'm a mere user of Arch so I don't know what the official policy is, but from where I'm standing, it looks like---at least for the community repo---the policy is "do what works." You are indeed right that Go and Rust applications are packaged as-is without having all of their corresponding library dependencies packaged as well. But, for example, Haskell applications like pandoc do have all their libraries packaged. Compare the output of, say, `pacman -Si docker` and `pacman -Si pandoc`.
- steveklabnik 9y agoMy understanding is that Debian uses debcargo to generate packages from cargo packages.
