I built these source packages using the attached script: Version 1.2.0.20150812.beta+dfsg1-1 Version 1.2.0.20150830.nightly+dfsg1-1 https://mentors.debian.net/package/rustc I haven't yet built binary packages out of them, though - the tests keep failing. Next, I will play around with giving DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck to cowbuilder. Some notes: - we could probably come up with a better system for the version strings - for the nightly, I dropped debian/patches/fix-test-llvm-3.6.diff which seems to have been applied upstream - for some reason we bundle a src/etc/snapshot.pyc in the .debian.tar.gz and force it to be ignored with debian/source/include-binaries, wtf? - both beta and nightly have upgraded to jquery 2.1.4 but my upgrade script doesn't account for this - pretty sure we can symlink jquery.js in debian/rust-doc.links instead of having debian/rules explicitly do it - not sure what to do with the libstd-rust-xxxx stuff. I couldn't find the id anywhere in the upstream source, even in the current debian sid version. Also, will we continue to keep adding the old package versions to Replaces/Breaks? This seems unsustainable. I'm sure there's lots of other things, have fun playing with what I have so far. It'll probably take me a couple of weeks to return to this.
