+
+ <body>
+ <p>Rust was updated to 1.18.0 and Cargo to 0.19.0, the latest
+ versions at the time of this writing.</p>
+
+ <p><tt>lang/rust</tt> was enabled on &os;/aarch64 and work has
+ continued on <tt>devel/cargo</tt> to achieve the same. We are
+ also making slow progress to add support for even more
+ platforms.</p>
+
+ <p>Discussion has started upstream to support API/ABI breaking
+ changes between major releases of operating systems. For
+ instance, this is required to be able to target both &os; 11.x
+ and 12.x, which have ABI changes involving important
+ structures. Once support is added upstream, it will be
+ possible to target a specific ABI and do
+ cross-compilation.</p>
+
+ <p><tt>lang/rust-nightly</tt> was marked as broken for now. We
+ need to revisit how the port is built so we can use the
+ <tt>x.py</tt> script as recommended by upstream.</p>
+
+ <p>Tobias Kortkamp (<tt>tobik@</tt>) created the
+ <tt>USES=cargo</tt> setting to make it easy to add Rust
+ applications to the Ports Collection. This is further
+ detailed in a separate entry in this quarterly status
+ report.</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 its stability.</p>
+
+ <p>There is some code duplication between the
+ <tt>lang/rust*</tt> and <tt>devel/cargo</tt> Makefiles. These
+ all deserve a bit of cleanup, and it might be useful to create
+ a <tt>USES=rust</tt> Makefile helper.</p>
