> If Rust decides that it no longer supports compiling on x86, or if it starts depending on a version of LLM that no longer runs on a supported architecture Then you stop publishing new versions of the toolchain for x86 releases of the distro? I fail to see the problem. Nothing prevents you from not making a newer version of the toolchain available. Indeed, that's the default. > The same goes for crates, which can be pulled at any time for almost any reason and break compiles. I never said you have to extend this by making all versions of crates available. You can freeze the crates using the same mechanism to redirect Cargo as they do today. I'm going to ignore the rustup stuff as I wasn't proposing rustup be used for building the base Debian image itself - that was a comment more about the environment QEMU itself can advocate for for people building it & leaving it to the distros to solve their own packaging problems.
