I can accept a rust-librsvg (because it's said rust is "designed for web broswer engine" and SVG is something related to web engine). But why should bzip2 be rewrote in rust? I think I'll have to fork a non-rust-bzip2. -- Xi Ruoyao School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Of course, bugfixes are not there.

If he cannot be dissuaded, this will have a disastrous effect on Chapter 5. That would be bad, but for LFS we can work around by converting everything that needs bz2 to either xz or gz. BLFS might be a bigger problem, but I haven't looked at it yet. -- Bruce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Reading the new homepage, it seems this is the gentleman who rewrote librsvg in Rust and plans to do the same for bzip2. If he cannot be dissuaded, this will have a disastrous effect on Chapter 5. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
