  • diziet | Debian’s approach to Rust

    In Gentoo, Rust crates are just normal files to be downloaded in order to build a given package. The package pins (and checks the hashes of) the crate deps, and builds using cargo --offline. There is no serde/clap/etc packages, just ripgrep/librsvg/etc packages. There is no need to patch all packages to use the same serde crate version. Packaging a Rust program in gentoo is pretty much automatic.

    Then, I went through like 3 different pages on gentoo and learned how to make my own rebuild using this... But after setting up my custom repo and making sure it had the right permissions, manifest, etc. the ebuild failed on account of not being able to find the Config.yoml file it needed, which exists in the directory I built the ebuild from. I think I am just SOL on this, and will have to probably find a different approach

    FWIW it's worth for portage (Gentoo) there is g-sorcery[0], which can create ebuilds for Emacs (m/elpa) and python packages automatically. Similarly there is also cargo-ebuild[1] which can create ebuilds for rust programs/libraries, including a list of all dependencies with hashes.

    I've successfully used cargo-ebuild in the past to create ebuilds automatically, it's a breeze. I'd be surprised if similar tools didn't exist for deb/rpm based distros.

  • Can Anybody Help Me With My Custom Ebuild for xplr?
    4 projects | /r/Gentoo | 25 Jun 2021
    I'm working on a custom repository where I intend to write ebuild files for packages that's not supported by Gentoo's repository. Right now, I'm trying to write an ebuild file for xplr, which is a Rust project that uses the Cargo build system. Initially, I used the cargo-ebuild tool, which generated the file xplr-0.14.3.ebuild.

What are some alternatives?
