Public bug reported: Hi,
I'd like to upload a new rustc version (see attached debdiff). In addition to the obvious security fix, this version would downgrade the Recommends: cargo to a mere Suggests: for the rustc binary. The rationale behind the change is that we'd like to promote rustc to main (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rustc/+bug/1957932 for details) and cargo isn't ready to be promoted. I expect the impact on the archive to be minimal, as there are only two direct reverse-dependencies on rustc: ❯ reverse-depends rustc Reverse-Depends * cargo * rust-all rust-all already has its own Depends: relationship to cargo, and as such isn't relying on rustc to provide it. AFAIK our builders don't consider Recommends dependencies, so this change shouldn't result in build breakages. My educated guess is that any user that wishes to install Rust and does *not* follow that community's standard way of doing things (bypassing system packages) would install rust-all or cargo directly, not expecting rustc to provide the higher-level tooling. ** Affects: rustc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "rustc-ffe.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966200/+attachment/5572462/+files/rustc-ffe.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966200 Title: [FFe] rustc: Downgrade cargo from Recommends to Suggests To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rustc/+bug/1966200/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
