Well, fedora has (one, small) patch to build rustc with python3. They also, at least two days ago, used the broken "use sys llvm" approach, so not perfect. However, the reason they can use python3 there is that they continue to use the old './configure' script rather than upstream's preferred config.toml. So, I guess that python3 could again be used - but it would feel like reverting to autoconf where an upstream has got meson working. ĸen -- thread 'main' panicked at 'giraffe', /tmp/rustc-1.32.0-src/src/test/run-fail/while-panic.rs:17:13 -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
