Hi Guixers,
I want to update the Librewolf package, but it now depends on Rust >= 1.76, which is newer than what's in master. I see the rust-team branch has versions up to 1.77 — is there a timeline for merging that, or a TODO list of things that need to be done to merge it? I'm not sure if I can help there, but would rather direct efforts towards getting rust updated than patching Librewolf to build with older versions.

I managed to burn myself out on rust stuff a few months ago and I'm
finally coming back to the rust-team branch. There are still hundreds
of patches sent for the branch which I had hoped to catch-up on, but I'm
fairly certain that the branch is in a good state for merging even now.
Currently it has rust-1.77.1. There is a newer 1.77.2 available, and
the newest version is 1.79. After merging the current branch I hope to
be able to move the version of rust on the rust-team branch to whatever
the latest version is.

Thank you for your hard work. Rust is perhaps the most complex part in
the Guix packaging effort.

Please leave it for now. It will still be there after you come back
from hiking a mountain, reading a novel, or spending time with
family---or whatever it is you do to get away.
A good weekend,
Felix

I’m very sorry to hear that you’re feeling burnt out.
Would it be reasonable to merge the newer Rust versions, without
changing the default from 1.75? That would unblock things needing
them, without the risk of breaking packages which haven’t been
updated.
This might not work for other packages, but Guix seems to keep
nearly every version of Rust around for bootstrapping the new
ones, so I think this would work.
Thanks,
— Ian

I'll see about backporting(?) the newer rust versions from the rust-team
branch to the master branch. That way they are available for things like
librewolf even if they aren't used for the actual rust packages yet. It
shouldn't be too hard and I can make sure it doesn't cause problems on
the rust-team branch, even thought it has to wait a bit until its turn
to merge.

I've pushed through rust-1.79 to master and I've built them on x86_64.
My fast aarch64 build machine is currently offline so I can't test there
and builds are ongoing on riscv64. The packages are public but hidden,
so they can be pulled into a package definition if required (as
rust-1.79) but can't be installed with a simple 'guix package -i rust'.

Wonderful, thank you very much for the quick turnaround!
I know next to nothing about Rust, but if there’s something that
would help the rust-team branch, please let met know.
Thanks,

As far as I can tell *all* versions except the "official" are hidden. The
"base" package (rust-1.55) has this property:
(properties '((hidden? . #t)
...)
All other rusts inherit from it, therefore getting the property as well. The
"offical" rust package (currently at 1.55) has these properties:
(properties (append
(alist-delete 'hidden? (package-properties base-rust))
(clang-compiler-cpu-architectures "15")))
Making it install-able.
At least I think this is how it works.
Tomas

Yeah, that's how this one is hidden.
In the past the different rust packages used 'define' instead of
'define-public', but it turns out that with 'define-public' the CI
systems will recognize each package a separate package to be built, so
we can build up to the most recent rust piecemeal instead of from 1.54
straight to 1.75 in one evaluation.
The hidden? property is also how the gcc packages are hidden. 'guix
package -A ^gcc' doesn't show any straight gcc packages, only
gcc-toolchain ones, but adding alternate versions of gcc is the same as
adding any other package as an input.
