Rust is a pain to have as a dependancy regardless; Every distro has ist own versions, and rustup is by no means a standard that works with every (any?) packaging tool. Arch is fairly flexible here, but for instance Debian is a real issue: I can not create a complete, from source rebuildable package according to the Debian package guidelines with this thing in there... By the way: thank you for telling me I needed rust 1.36.0, but how would I have been able to find out myself?
