I've just updated the development book to llvm-11.0.0 and rustc-1.47.0. The only reason to update rust is because llvm changed some internal details and earlier versions cannot build with system llvm-11.
In general, as with most other compiler updates, builds using llvm and rustc are now a little slower, and bigger, but the installed files are marginally smaller. For the moment, the only reason to update rustc is if you are also updating llvm. All packages in the book should build fine with rustc-1.42.0, so your system, upgrade or not as you please. Please note that both firefox-esr and thunderbird now need a patch to build with 1.47.0 - it's the same patch, but symlinked for thunderbird. ĸen -- The people next door oppress me all night long.
