Void-packages: racer is tracking nightly rust

Created on 6 Sep 2018  路  2Comments  路  Source: void-linux/void-packages

The package racer will not build in the recent version any longer since they are now tracking the nightly rust compiler. There are multiple ways to deal with this:

  • depend on rustup instead of rust and cargo, and during compilation of racer download a (precompiled!) nightly rust compiler
  • package nightly rust
  • keep the package in the 2.0.14 version around for some time but drop it eventually - people who require it, can conveniently build it on their own with a single command

I don't feel really good with the first option, since I don't like downloading pre-compiled binaries (even when they are from the same source as the sourcecode is). What are your oppinions?

i'm for option 3.

I have no desire to keep packages that follow unstable releases and it is easy for people that want it to build it.
