Few days ago I had a try with newer rust/cargo version from unstable on stretch. Unfortunately failed miserably, eg. certain libs were missing in the source tree, and some of them even couldn't be found on upstream git repo anymore. Seems that rust/cargo needs a lot more attention. > If we want to continue to have Firefox/Thunderbird supported in > oldstable-security > after October, someone needs to step up to take care of backports to a > Stretch point > release before October 22nd (or in case of poor timing, we can also release > build > dependency updates via stretch-security). ACK. I haven't had a chance to take a deeper look at the rust/cargo issue yet (currently too occupied with other things). If anybody could come forward with a solution, I'd be really glad. --mtx -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult Free software and Linux embedded engineering i...@metux.net -- +49-151-27565287
