In the Ports Collection, Rust was updated to 1.16.0 and Cargo + to 0.17.0, the latest versions at the time of this writing.

+ +

lang/rust-nightly was also updated to a snapshot from + February and it is now enabled on i386. It is + lagging a bit behind upstream, but Rustup works nicely on &os; if + you need to try any versions/channels of Rust.

+ +

Work has started to bootstrap Rust on non-x86 architectures. + Patches to add &os;/aarch64 support were submitted and accepted + upstream. &os;/sparc64 is in progress. The lang/rust-nightly + port is also being adapted to compile natively on &os;/aarch64. This + work is critical, in particular because Firefox will shortly require + Rust. If you want to help, please refer to the guide linked above.

+ +

The compiler, rustc, is crashing sometimes when there is a + compilation error. Therefore, there is a bit of work to do to improve + stability.

+ +

There is some code duplication between lang/rust* and + devel/cargo. Those Makefiles deserve a bit of cleanup. It + might be useful to create a USES=rust Makefile helper.

+ + + + Bootstrap Rust on more platforms. + + Investigate compiler crashes. + + Create a USES=rust Makefile helper and simplify + Rust and Cargo ports. + + Investigate how to speed up lang/rust* + compilation time. + +
