Hi,
I've been preparing clamav upload for stable and noticed that one of its
rust bits requires rustc 1.87.0. There was once rust-web but this is
gone now.
I could try to downgrade it but there was a bug against an earlier
version where it failed to read (some) .tiff files and fix was a newer
rust component for it. Wouldn't be surprised if something similar did
happen for jpeg, too (the package asking for newer rustc is zune-jpeg).
The NEWS file for 1.4.4 mentiones rustc 1.87 as the minimum.
I guess the only way forward is via -bpo?
I think it is just a matter of time before rustc-web has to be
reintroduced for Trixie (via chromium/firefox-esr) - AFAIK Andres (CCed)
is already working on preparing it(s prerequisites).
I'm looking at a rustc-web update for trixie (using Andres' llvm update).
That being said - it is often possible to undo upstream MSRV bumps with
small patches, which might be an option here as well. If you need
assistance with that, feel free to reach out to the Debian Rust team
([email protected], or #debian-rust).
That'd be great. I asked upstream about that, but apparently that was
complicated [1].
Cheers,
Emilio
