Currently each round of rust takes about 12 hours on my fast aarch64 board. This built successfully on aarch64 and ng0 was able to build and test it on x86_64. It is convenient (less than 36 hours build, build only one version of rust), but I have to second the doubt about CVEs. Mark, have you considered asking Mozilla about their recommended strategy wrt chosing the right rust for a Firefox-based browser building and implications of using an older rust for crates already in Firefox? If not, I will ask Firefox/Mozilla development and Rust community tomorrow. > > > >Mark, Danny: WDYT? > > > >Thanks, > >Ludo’. > > -- > Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
