possibly the "Ubuntu did this" was referring to post-cargo/rustc-merge? we've planned that as well, and it's about 75% prepared, but I didn't manage to finish in Debian in time for t64 to kick off so I held off finalizing it until the dust settles. in hindsight, that might have been a mistake - src:rustc (the target of the source package merge) comes with builtin (re)bootstrap support from upstream statically linked stage0 ;) > > Is there a porter who can take responsibility for that? > > I did manage to get cargo to build in a armhf chroot by manually > installing the various deps, see the build artifacts at > https://people.debian.org/~ema/cargo/.

Anyone from debian-rust has ideas or comments? if the tests are green, you could try a rebuild of rustc and/or cargo with the built cargo next? I don't think anything else that is packaged exercises anywhere near that amount of the functionality of cargo ;) thanks for taking care of this! don't hesitate to holler here or in #debian-rust/dev/release (ping me for the latter two, I don't read the full backlog there).
