I've pushed through rust-1.79 to master and I've built them on x86_64. My fast aarch64 build machine is currently offline so I can't test there and builds are ongoing on riscv64. The packages are public but hidden, so they can be pulled into a package definition if required (as rust-1.79) but can't be installed with a simple 'guix package -i rust'. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> רנשלפ םירפא GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
