Didn't they call Rust software "unpackageable" just a couple of months ago? IIRC they were talking about bcachefs-tools.


Debian has packaged rustc and Rust based programs for the better part of a decade now.


It was posted on Hacker News... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41407768

Author quite literally said bcachefs-tools "is impossible to maintain in Debian stable", and the reason cited was Rust.


One person said one program is hard to package, sure.

That doesn’t change that both rustc and programs that use rust have been packaged for a very, very long time.
