As long as free distros carry rust tools (and eventually catch up version-wise), I'm afraid I don't think we're going to remove rust code from Linux in bulk: GNU Linux-libre aims at minimal changes for GNU FSDG compliance. So for now we'll clean up pieces that would conflict with the FSDG, and leave the rest alone. Now, if the cleanups in nova_core are good, maybe I won't need to consult with rust programmers about that. But I could still use some insights about cargo and how (whether) it's used in Linux. I'm concerned about builds downloading pieces of software from unreviewed components in external repositories, but I don't know how to recognize this possibility. -- Alexandre Oliva, happy hacker https://blog.lx.oliva.nom.br/ Free Software Activist FSFLA co-founder GNU Toolchain Engineer Learn the truth about Richard Stallman at https://stallmansupport.org/ _______________________________________________ linux-libre mailing list [email protected] http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-libre
