Librsvg still uses autotools; it just calls cargo when building the Rust sub-library, that is then linked statically into the final librsvg.so. That *will* download, compile, and link stuff like gtk-rs statically into librsvg.so. I don't think this is a problem in the long term: with things like Flatpak we are already moving away from distros trying to mandate which dependencies one uses, and moving towards developers making that choice on their own. > For now, I've pushed an librsvg-2-40 branch and switched jhbuild to > use > that.

I will not be doing any maintenance on the 2.40 series anymore. In the meantime, build systems are really not my thing, and I would appreciate help in making this all work with jhbuild / gnome- continuous.
