Okay, so when you do:
Project -> Repositories -> Add from a distribution -> select fedora 30
That only adds fedora 30 standard:
https://build.opensuse.org/repositories/Fedora:30
But not update. This is why all the f30 builds I have are failing. This seems like a bug or error to me.
It is done this way to minimize automatic rebuilds by default, as new updated packages in the repositories will trigger rebuilds. If you want updates, just change "standard" to "update" and call it gravy. Most don't require this, but your Rust case probably will.
For what it's worth, openSUSE Leap targets are similarly set up.
This is really counter intuitive to anyone who is reasonably inexperienced at packaging (IE me), which is probably another barrier to getting people to do tasks like this. It could be improved both as a default (include updates because that's the expected behaviour) or via UI (offer updates as an option in the distribution menu, or make it easier to alter standard -> update in the respository list).
