+ <body>
+ <p>In the Ports Collection, Rust was updated to 1.16.0 and Cargo
+ to 0.17.0, the latest versions at the time of this writing.</p>
+
+ <p><tt>lang/rust-nightly</tt> was also updated to a snapshot from
+ February and it is now enabled on <tt>i386</tt>. It is
+ lagging a bit behind upstream, but <a
+ href="https://rustup.rs/">Rustup</a> works nicely on &os; if
+ you need to try any versions/channels of Rust.</p>
+
+ <p>Work has started to bootstrap Rust on non-<tt>x86</tt> architectures.
+ Patches to add &os;/aarch64 support were submitted and accepted
+ upstream. &os;/sparc64 is in progress. The <tt>lang/rust-nightly</tt>
+ port is also being adapted to compile natively on &os;/aarch64. This
+ work is critical, in particular because Firefox will shortly require
+ Rust. If you want to help, please refer to the guide linked above.</p>
+
+ <p>The compiler, <tt>rustc</tt>, is crashing sometimes when there is a
+ compilation error. Therefore, there is a bit of work to do to improve
+ stability.</p>
+
+ <p>There is some code duplication between <tt>lang/rust*</tt> and
+ <tt>devel/cargo</tt>. Those Makefiles deserve a bit of cleanup. It
+ might be useful to create a <tt>USES=rust</tt> Makefile helper.</p>
