I certainly use my nightly Arch package even though I usually have a build or two of local branches around. It's very convenient to always have a working install of master that's less than a day old. It's built automatically and in theory doesn't require any attention. Rust's Makefile does love to break though... _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
