For the Rustaceans out there, are there any plans to start getting Rust libraries packaged for Linux distros?
Cargo is an amazing build system. But the last time I used it (which was maybe a year ago), I was struck by how tough it would be to use it for compiling a Debian package. At the time, it seemed like a big roadblock against wider Rust adoption.
- steveklabnik 9y agoWe've long worked with distros, each of them has different policies, and so does things differently. For example, https://crates.io/crates/debcargo https://crates.io/crates/debcargo is a tool created by Debian for this purpose. https://pagure.io/fedora-rust/rust2rpm https://pagure.io/fedora-rust/rust2rpm is Fedora's.

Over 120 Rust crates are included in Fedora 27.
