There is a more general aspect to this. In the rest of the unix world
software is now almost universally build using CI systems and
buildboxes,
people use binary packages almost all the time in linux. Developers
don't
care to keep low overhead in their builds and with dependency. The ports
tree cannot mitigate this external pressure.
Understood. Though the situation you point out has been around for
decades
and this is the first time I've encountered such a chaotic result.
Anyway, in this specific case, simply be ready to see rust being
requested as a build dependency of more and more software.
Not that I approve, or disapprove, for that matter, of it, but this is
the direction we're headed to.
One can drive a car without using seat belts for years without any
injury [1], dies this mean seat belts are unnecessary?
[1] if he is lucky enough to never cause or be involved (without any
blame) in a crash, even minor one.
