A related question: is there some place where I can follow along with plans
relating to Rust upgrades for mozilla-central? As a Linux distribution
packager, that might be useful information. (I remember seeing there was a
Rust upgrade planned from 1.24.0 straight to 1.28.0, but couldn't find a
reference when I recently went looking for it in Bugzilla.)
There's https://wiki.mozilla.org/Rust_Update_Policy_for_Firefox which
appears to be reasonably current.
This is the general policy, but there can be cases like 1.25 where a
regression is deemed important enough to delay upgrading the Rust
version used for Mozilla builds or increasing the minimum version
requirement.
You can search Bugzilla for "builders rust" and "require rust" to find
bugs tracking those changes respectively, such as
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1450078
This configuration is in tree, changes are made first in central /
nightly and then ride the trains.
