1.4.0~~nightly.20150901+dfsg1-1 built for amd64, all tests passing, uploaded here in experimental: https://people.torproject.org/~infinity0/apt/ Note that it contains an incomplete debian/changelog which I can't be bothered fixing right now. I built it by running $ DEBDIR=./rust/debian CHANNEL=nightly ./upgrade-rust.sh using the attached script, against the current rust.git debian packaging repo, then fixing debian/copyright to remove obsolete references to valgrind, then: $ sudo cowbuilder --build rustc_1.4.0~~nightly.20150901+dfsg1-1.dsc If people like it, I can upload a version to Debian experimental tomorrow. > 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.

This seems unsustainable. > All these points have been fixed in the above package, as well as in git. I've kept the hash-based library name for now. I also made a beta version here, but haven't yet had time to build it: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rustc/rustc_1.3.0~beta.3.20150812+dfsg1-1.dsc "It should work", though. Enjoy!
