- Rust needs to be able to bootstrap itself from the previous version. In the past, building rust requires a binary snapshot of a previous version of rust. This is no good for building from source, if we need a binary snapshot we might as well just ship that instead. So the preferred thing would be if rust 1.8 can build using rust 1.7, then we can bootstrap each update with the already-compiled compiler.
I have talked to Aaron Turon in the rust team about this, and they finally promised to make this a requirement for rust from version 1.9 (if I remember correctly). So that will be a better point at which to submit rust for Tumbleweed.
I didn't quite remember that correctly: Rust 1.10 will be bootstrapped from rust 1.9, and from then on it'll be rolling. So Rust 1.10 is probably a good target for when to submit the rust compiler for Tumbleweed.
