Hi,

Status update about antioxidant-build-system:

  * sniffglue now builds (hexyl still builds)
  * [[bins]] sections are recognised
  * phases have been split for tidyness
  * more environment variables expected by some build.rs are now set
  * 'autobins' is respected
  * some build failures involving C libraries (‘native libraries’, in
    Rust terminology) are resolved,
  * more structured parsing of Cargo.toml, using define-json-mapping
  * some version incompatibilities resolved
  * other things?

Next step: try building other packages from (gnu packages rust-apps).

Greetings,
Maxime.

Yay, that sounds promising!

Looking forward to the next update… thank you!
