- GrayShade 5y agoNot if you're using the Debian version. They could at least package rustup, I have no idea why they don't.
- pornel 5y agoDebian's Rust is useless, sorry. Rust went for "evergreen" approach like Chrome. It focuses on making small gradual changes, quick and painless upgrades, and provides stability via backwards compatibility in the compiler. This allows everyone to only target one version: the current one. Debian's philosophy is the polar opposite, so Debian's Rust version is doomed to be perpetually obsolete.
- j16sdiz 5y ago"Evergreen" compiler is enemy of reproducible build.
- serverholic 5y agoI bet you don’t know what you’re talking about.
- pornel 5y agoAll past Rust releases are available. They can be easily installed via rustup, and multiple versions can coexist on the same machine (even run concurrently). That's even easier and more flexible than using old Debian packages.
