Hi Richard,
Maybe it's just too premature to package rust if the language is that unstable ;)
This is pretty much unavoidable, since Firefox is going to ship pieces written in Rust soon... (I think they are already using some Rust code Nightlies, eventually those will graduate to become part of stable releases [1].)
Stefan.
[1] I am not 100% sure about the timeline. I am only sure that Firefox is going to contain a whole bunch of Rust pretty soon.
Forgive me if I am off-topic here (ignore me if I am), but this thread motivated me to add rust to my list of CSV performances: http://tux.nl/Talks/CSV6/speed5.html
That work is based on "The CSV game" by Ewan Higgs: https://bitbucket.org/ewanhiggs/csv-game but with the focus on different ways to parse in perl
I wanted to add rust the same way Ewan did in https://bitbucket.org/ewanhiggs/csv-game/src/0dd4ca3abeb52044bad7ba39ac86694...
On TumbleWeed, I don't need to add repositories and I can install and build and run the examples
$ rpm -q rust cargo rust-1.10.0-1.2.x86_64 cargo-0.13.0-1.1.x86_64
And all goes as planned. Rust is FAST! :)
On openSUSE 13.2 however, if I install rust and cargo from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Ledest:/devel/openSUSE_13.2/ on my Linux 3.16.7-53-desktop [openSUSE 13.2 (Harlequin)] HP Z220CMT Xeon(R) CPU E3-1245 V2 @ 3.40GHz/1676(8) x86_64 11913 Mb
13.2 Goes End of Life next month so i'm not sure how much effort its worth putting into it. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adeliade Australia, UTC+9:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
