Ah fair enough. Thanks for the additional detail. Lack of signature checking is a bit annoying. It seems they have an open issue about it: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/2028 X Matt Corallo: > I was just trying to ensure that the trust chain was correct here as some of > the

I was just trying to ensure that the trust chain was correct here as some of the earlier comments seemed confused - unlike most other things that install software in $HOME, rustup doesn't fetch source (and optionally compile it), it just fetches binaries from the same source that provides rustup

Not sure what your purpose is with your comment. Nobody is asking you to package it. If somebody else wants to, this doesn't affect you, you don't have to install it. Packaging 3rd party software in general gives the user a trust chain from Debian trust keys to that software, rather than e.g.

I would also like to start off with a Debian-packaged rustup rather than having to install it from upstream. It's been discussed before, but I think no one was pursuaded to start maintaining a package. IIRC one issue was that rustup likes to update itself. You'd need to check how difficult it

Package: rustc Version: 1.40.0+dfsg1-5 Severity: normal Dear Awesome Rust Debian Maintainers, I notice that rustup is not packaged for Debian. One option is to go through snap (https://snapcraft.io/install/rustup/debian) but native packages are preferable. Since rustup is used by many projects,
