Most (all?) Linux distros (Debian, Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, ...) use their packaged Rust and cargo to build other packages like Firefox, ripgrep, etc.
Which challenges are not showing up there ? There are packages, and they are usable to build other packages.
- yyyk 6y ago1) "I'm using Python/Ruby/Java/C#/some other non-C/C++/Rust language, how do I even call this RusTLS thingy? OpenSSL has shims everywhere so I don't have to worry about FFI/JNI/etc." 2) "My distro does not include a RusTLS package. How do I package this? Do I have to add Rust to my build dependencies now? How do I add the Rust steps to my build system? Where was that CMake manual again..." Rust has a bright future ahead, but yet another TLS library doesn't justify the overhead and complexity of bringing Rust into a build of non-Rust code. Now, if most distros were to offer a rustls package, this could be entirely different story.
