  • Debian to require Rust as of May 2026

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sunday, November 02, 2025 06:40:07
    Julian Andres Klode has announced that the
    Debian APT package-management tool will acquire "hard Rust
    dependencies sometime after May 2026. "If you maintain a port
    without a working Rust toolchain, please ensure it has one within the next
    6 months, or sunset the port."

    This worked so well for Ubuntu, what could go wrong? :/
