Do you have any links of those discussions? I'm new to the mailing list. IMHO rustpkg should keep the ability of a build system. Lots of work has already been put into it and why rewrite that? I think this rust-written build tool should be rustpkg. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
