Heya.
The Rust folks are putting the final touches on Rust 0.4, and it's going
to be a thing to behold. Unfortunately, the number of operating systems
we test on is somewhat limited. This is where you can help! Please!
We've got a preliminary [tarball] and Windows [exe] built (this is not
the final build but it is a known working build). If you are so
inclined, then please give it an install on any machine you have
available and see that it works correctly, where 'works' probably means
'installs rustc, cargo, rustdoc and the man page and can build and run
hello.rs'. Please report problems on the [issue tracker] (or here if you
like).
The operating systems we currently have coverage on are OS X 10.6 (Snow
Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), Centos 6, Ubuntu (various),
Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit), Windows 7 (64-bit). Our OS X coverage is good,
Windows is not excellent, and Linuxes other than Ubuntu are less exercised.
Some specific systems that we would like to know more about:
Arch - Arch installs python3 as the default and this has caused problems
with the llvm build. It should be resolved now (in some way, maybe just
by properly detecting python3 and aborting) but isn't verified. #[2720]
Debian Wheezy - We have a report that the snapshot compiler doesn't work
here (may be 64-bit specific). #[3641]
Ubuntu 12.10 - Do we still work on the next Ubuntu?
Any other Windows or Linuxes.
Regards,
Brian
