Hi Guix,

I packaged a number of Rust programs that I use everyday (ripgrep,
alacritty) or I found useful when learning Rust (racer).  With the
instability of the rust build system and package definition they are a lot
to maintain. I would love to send patches for them but I don't want to
burden you all with the maintenance of the packages. When do you think
would be the best time to send patches?

Thanks!

John

Hi,

I would send them as soon as you think they are usable,
the "burden" is shared between people who are interested
and work on maintaining them - you, or anyone else.

No need to feel like it would be a burden to anyone.

Thanks,

I’ll be sending some patches as soon as I can. As you all know, rust packages have a lot of dependencies so it could take some time.

Also once you send them we have more packages to test out changes to the
rust system against.

Hi all,

I submitted my patches this morning in #38640.  Thanks for the continued work on the rust build system.  I like rust tools quite a lot.
