What would be their incentive to do so? Or should this be used as a
basis for creating a prototype deploying duch information... which
would inevitably ask again:
Should Rust have its own build tool, given your proposal of
standardized representational information ? Dealing with such
metadata forces you to design a new system.
I guess I'm saying that, no matter what solution you choose:
a) People will want their own version, either because they know and
prefer something else, OR just because they run, say, debian, and it
manages 26000 packages on their system, and they want Rust to be
managed that way too.**
I don't understand what debian's package manager has to do with a build
system?
There's no reason why
apt-get install librust-sdl2-dev
shouldn't work, no matter what rust-sdl2 uses for building itself. The
package will just contain a rlib file and put it inside
/usr/lib/rustlib/<target-triple>/.
