First commit 2 months ago, started with edition 2021. https://hg.sr.ht/~cyplo/legdur/browse/Cargo.toml?rev=ca11815... Have you tried compiling something less than bleeding edge, with a year old compiler, or are you picking projects specifically to "showcase" the supposed failings of the Rust compiler? Many libraries in the ecosystem have a MSRV (minimum support rust version) guarantee, with compile-time shims to enable newer features if a more recent version is detected. You can pin your dependencies to those versions (and if they don't have an explicit MSRV, just pin it to a version by date or by running https://github.com/foresterre/cargo-msrv on the project to find the effective MSRV). You can cargo install specific versions of a binary crate, and if they move to the 2021 edition, or use a recently stabilized standard library function or w/e, you can simply choose to install a specific version, that would work with your distro's rustc/cargo. I'm not even talking about the completely valid, but last resort strategy of many non-bleeding edge distro package maintainers, of simply creating a .patch file and applying it. In legdur's case, --- edition = "2021" +++ edition = "2018" on Cargo.toml would probably do the trick. For libraries/binaries you control, you can use https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/overriding-depende... and https://github.com/itmettkeDE/cargo-patch. Giving up after the first minor roadblock and crying bloody murder is intellectually lazy. |
