Yes, you can use this to provide a library of extern-C functions. I see no problem Rust-based packages using this in Fedora, but they will need to adhere to the usual stability policies. Actually, I think you could do that even with the "dylib" target. It's just that this would include all the metadata and symbols for its reachable Rust items too, which is irrelevant for an FFI library. There's more info in the RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1510-rdylib.md -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
