Hi,
I've been approached multiple times with that request, and a lot of
time I see new users completely destroyed by rust build time and disk
space requirements.
WDYT about switching order of rusts in a virtual?
RDEPEND="|| (
~dev-lang/rust-${PV}
~dev-lang/rust-bin-${PV}
)"
becomes
RDEPEND="|| (
~dev-lang/rust-bin-${PV}
~dev-lang/rust-${PV}
)"
Existing installs should be unaffected ofc.
But portage may prefer to depclean rust and not rust-bin if both are
present.
Users who wish to use source version at all times can just add it to
world file.
I see both positives and negatives of doing that, but would like to
reach out to community first.
I would prefer to have source based one first.
Ideally we'd have some way to mark binary packages with new EAPI and
have FEATURES flag like 'prefer-binary' and go with -bin in case there's
|| ( ) dependencies list, regardless of the original order in virtual.
This way everyone could be happy and not choose one workflow over another.
