Support in the Ports Collection for applications written in + the Rust programming language that use Rust's package + manager Cargo was added, via a new USES=cargo + setting. The work is based on the cargo module + from the OpenBSD ports tree.

+ +

This should significantly ease the porting of Rust + applications, as previously porters had to create their own + tarball of the application's dependencies or find other + manual ways of bringing them in.

+ +

Several new ports were added that use it, for example:

+ +
    +
  • Alacritty, a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator
  • + +
  • Exa, a modern replacement for ls
  • + +
  • Ripgrep, a line-oriented search tool that combines the + usability of The Silver Searcher with the raw speed of GNU + grep
  • +
+ + + + Add documentation for the new feature. + +
