I can't understand this, too. I can accept a rust-librsvg (because it's said rust is "designed for web broswer engine" and SVG is something related to web engine). But why should bzip2 be rewrote in rust? I think I'll have to fork a non-rust-bzip2. -- Xi Ruoyao <xry...@mengyan1223.wang> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
